Lennart,
 Thank you very much! Now I have the * functionality in VIPER mode. Below is
my code:

(defun search-at-point ()
"Put symbol at current point into search string."
(interactive)
(setq viper-s-string (concat "\\<" (symbol-name (symbol-at-point)) "\\>"))
(setq viper-s-forward t)
;; TODO: Handle case where symbol-at-point returns nil.
(viper-search viper-s-string viper-s-forward 1))

(define-key viper-vi-global-user-map (kbd "*") 'search-at-point)

Thanks,
Weihua, Jiang
