@dhm, /\*** matches 0 or more *s (so including the empty string, so everywhere) without ^R and \*** with ^R

@jesse_b, I had hoped that something like /\*** or /^R*** would work, but no.

You can do /<Ctrl-R> ***<Home><Delete><Enter> (ie add a leading space and remove it after). Not great either.

@jesse_b, OP mentioned ^R which normally allows you not to have to worry about what character may be a regexp operator, but here doesn't work.

I'm struggling to imagine what would be easier than /\*\*\*. Did you have something in mind?
