In this case, I'd probably change that to
/\<\%(Exit\|End\)\@!\w\+\s\+Function\>/
Breaking it down, it goes
/ Search forward for ...
\< Beginning of a word
\%( A non-captured group of
Exit\|End Exit or End
\)\@! That is _not_ present
\w\+ Followed by multiple word characters (":h /\w")
\s\+ Followed by multiple whitespace characters
Function The word Function
\> End of word after Function
/ End of search pattern
However, that does not match lines that start with Function. For that
you would have to do something slightly different:
/\<\%(\<\%(Exit\|End\)\s\+\)\@<!\<Function\>/
The crucial difference is the < in \@<! which looks backwards. This
pattern would match Function, unless preceeded by Exit or End - which is
quite different from the previous pattern which matches Any word but
Exit or End, followed by Function.
It's tricky business. If you would like me to expand further, please let
me know.
