Interesting. I actually usually use:

/<<<<\|====\|>>>>

Since that lets me jump to the 3 portions of a conflict marker. (I use 4
because we use 7 conflict markers, and 4 makes us only match 1 time per
conflict but is easier to type.)

I frequently use this to start a range, and then use "nVndndd" (next,
Visual Select Line, next, delete, next, delete line)

It always looks a little bit funny to show vim commands, but it is quite
useful and quick to resolve one conflict region in favor of the other
(possibly after you have merged in the appropriate changes).
