Cannot abort search in vicmd mode

[hallettj]

The documentation says to use ^U to abort a search, and that works nicely in main mode. But it does not work in vicmd mode. Is there another option to abort the search? An abort command that I can bind a key to would be handy.

Try typing cc in command mode to clear the current command line and immediately enter insert mode.

shift-s, that is the upper case S, does the same as cc and is simpler.
