After typing /, you can press <C-f> to open the command-line window. In it, you can select / search for previous search patterns, edit them (just like in a normal buffer), and use the current one via <Enter>. You can also directly enter this mode via q/. To recall a previously used search, <Up> is quicker, though.

There are plugins that allow to complete words from the open buffer(s) into command-line mode. I use CmdlineComplete.
