    like this:

    /\<word\> 

    \< means beginning of a word, and \> means the end of a word,

    Adding @Roe’s comment:
    VIM provides a shortcut for this. If you already have word on screen and you want to find other instances of it, you can put the cursor on the word and press '*' to search forward in the file or '#' to search backwards.
