Personally I just use the normal Emacs isearch, ie C-s. It works very
well even when you are using Viper.

And I use /  when I want to search vi style. I find it handy to have both.

You can of course rebind / in the vi mode keymap if you want too. Look
in viper-keym.el for the name of the keymaps.
