Not really, it's an internal pager similar to /bin/more. Differs from the
system pager that programs like "man" use. Previously bash didn't page at
all, if I recall correctly.
$ man bash
/pager # use the search function
page-completions (On)
If set to On, readline uses an internal more-like pager to
display a screenful of possible completions at a time.
Edit or create ~/.inputrc to contain the line:
set page-completions off
and new instances of bash will no longer use the internal pager.
