If by nodding, you mean nodding out. For some reason, they've specially crippled the '/' search, and removed the configuration variable to make it identical to ctrl-f (next/last arrows mostly.)

If you happen to read this and are irritated by the same thing: I was saved by "Findbar Tweak." New essential plugin for me.

I've no objection to configurability, but I don't want slash to behave the same as ctrl-f. In particular, when my /-search matches part of a link, hitting return follows the link. Ctrl-f searches for next, which functionality I already have access to with ctrl-g.

Edited to add - how can you stand the lack of next/last arrows in vim?
