If you use that particular regexp a lot, you can save it as the value of a register, and use `M-e' followed by `C-x r i' in regexp isearch to use it as the search pattern. (If you use Icicles, you can also assign the pattern to a variable and then use `C-=' to insert it after hitting `M-e' in isearch. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Inserting_a_Regexp_from_a_Variable_or_R egister)
