Hi, I find it hard to believe that no one else has wondered the same thing, but I can't seem to find anything about it on the list and usenet archives, or in the manual:
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. Similarly for search-opposite. Ideally, this behavior would be a configuration variable. So how do people right now search for multiple occurences of a pattern anyway? By having separate bindings for search, search-next, and search-opposite? That or some set of macros is the only reasonable way I can think of doing it. Thanks, Jeremy P.S. Please cc me, as I'm not on the list.
