Search only between specific line numbers?

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 with normal searches as well. Something like

:12,24/search

Since that doesn't seem to work (at least on my Vim configuration), does anybody know how to achieve this?

If you would like to search to the end of the file, use $:

:3,$s/pattern//gn

This will search from 3-d line to the end
