/sp\{0,\}/
Would be
/sp{0,}/

Preceding your pattern with
\v
will make the pattern “magic”, and symbols like{
and[
have an interpreted meaning (and literals need to be escaped).So
/\vsp{1,}
would find what you wanted (I just tested it).You can make this a sort of default by remapping
/
to/\v
with the following lines in your vimrc:See
:help pattern
for more.
