- throwaway894345 6y agoTo be clear, my comment was about using `/<search term>`, not manually paging. It's still a very unpleasant experience. If you're interested in a particular concept, but you're not sure what your program calls it, good luck. Even if you're looking for a particular flag (e.g., `-c`) you can have hundreds of search results to parse through depending on the size of the man page. I personally don't enjoy this experience.
