In vim, how do I go back to where I was before a search?

Question

Programming in vim I often go search for something, yank it, then go back to where I was, insert it, modify it.

Answer 1

nnoremap / ms/
nnoremap ? ms?

Then if I search something by using / or ?, I can go back quickly by `s. You could replace the letter s to any letter you like.
