For purposes of migration from existing tools, and conforming to
established UNIX conventions, I like keeping / as buffer search (per
the 'screen search' CLI norm) and \ as ferret-index search (somewhat
unusual functionality in terms of CLI app search conventions, thus
deserving of a lower-priority keybinding).
That said, I think mode-dependency could be a neat resolve.
