By pressing 'n', like in 'less'. :-) Never noticed that re-searching for the same pattern does not find the next match, like in less, because I never needed it. (well, additionally, on german keyboards, '/' is 'SHIFT-7'). By having separate bindings for search, search-next, and search-opposite? Seems so. Default binding are '/', 'n' and 'ESC-/'.

Re: less-like behavior for search/search-next - macros
* Jeremy Lin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-09-17 10:38]: Is there a clean way to get less-like behavior for searching in the internal pager? In particular, I'd like search-next (or search) to prompt for a new search pattern, but keep the current as default, and move to the next match if one is already at the top of the screen. so make command 'n' to first move one line down before searching again: macro pager n next-linesearch\n Similarly for search-opposite. Ideally, this behavior would be a configuration variable. ideally the internal would be less plus the coloring of most, right? ;-) So how do people right now search for multiple occurences of a pattern anyway? one by one, i suppose. By having separate bindings for search, search-next, and search-opposite? probably. P.S.
