^ in the beginning of a regexp means the beginning of a line.

(search-forward-regexp "^aaa") ; works

aaa

(search-forward-regexp "^aaa") ; DNC

 aaa

(search-forward-regexp "^a^aa") ; works

a^aa

(search-forward-regexp "\\^aaa") ; works

^aaa

But to answer your question:

(search-forward-regexp "")
