VIM: Search only between specific line numbers?

Question

I know that with Vim\'s substitution command you can specific a range of lines:

:12,24s/search/replace

I want to be able to specify a range

Answer 1

Great answer from akira. But after some digging, I found an alternative. It's not as elegant but easier to type in:

 :12,24g/search/

This will give you one annoying prompt but it will end up on the first line within the range containing the sought string.
