In reply to Rich Sachs... you are close but not quite right.
You are missing a few escape characters in your definition of #1..
It should be changed from
	Gi/\<A\>"add@a
to
	Gi/\<^[A\>^["add@a

where the 2 ^['s represent escape characters.

This actually:
G	goes to the last line.
i/\<^[	puts a "/\<" in front of the word.
A\>^[	puts a "\>" after the word.
"add	deletes this line into the a "register"
@a	executes the a register which contains the
	search command you just constructed
