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.
