It's not a planet search, it's a star search. You use it on the starmap.

I press / on starmap then what.
Then you enter the (start of the) name of a star or constellation. Press Tab to switch between matches if the prefix is ambiguous.

When you press the / the text field in the top left will start blinking. The key you press is not the / on the numeric keypad, but the one on the main part of the keyboard. On a US keyboard, it will be the key next to the right shift. On a Croatian keyboard, the / is on the same key as the 7. That's less than ideal, so you may want to change this key binding (http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters_Technical_FAQ#How_do_I_change_my_keys.3F).
