Title:
  evim search fails with message: "E486: Pattern not found: \\/\c"
  followed by the string searched for

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Trusty 64 bit system built from the mini.iso with Openbox as the WM and sole DE as well.  Vim version 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3.  Recently, search has started failing about half the time.  In Evim, if I search for "some string that IS there somewhere" I'll get the following message:
  E486: Pattern not found: \\/\csome string that IS there somewhere
  as if it had prepended some stuff to what I what I wanted to search for and searched for that instead. Whenever it does this it is always the same string
  that gets prepended:
  \\/\c
  Seems the longer the string the more likely it is to happen.
