One of the most uncelebrated feature of vim 6.0 is the ability to span a search across multiple lines.
\_^ maps a begining of line anywhere in search pattern.
\_$ ---"----- end ----------------------"-------------------------.
\_s ---"------ space ------------"------------------------- .
e.g /{\_s will map all white spaces and new-line chars after a "{"
The \_ can be appended to other objects as well. such as \_U, \_L, \_. (this one's risky) .
See :help pattern for more details.
