Thank you! Also, I noticed that if I have a line which wraps thereby breaking up a string, then the search in copy mode does not find it, as a result of the line by line approach to searching. When the pane or window is resized to accommodate the string all on a single line, search finds and highlights it. This is a bit counter intuitive; if this was vi or less with a narrow display the string would still be found.
