It is, as it turns out, possible to force without the ^.
Google search gives:
Quantifier Description
\{-} matches 0 or more of the preceding atom, as few as possible
\{-n,m} matches 1 or more of the preceding characters...
\{-n,} matches at lease or more of the preceding characters...
\{-,m} matches 1 or more of the preceding characters...
where n and m are positive integers (>0)
Of course I should have done this earlier... and I did... but until that
particular search I hadn't discovered the glories of Vim Regular Expressions
