While I'm uncertain whether the man command came before any implementations of

that most of us have seen.
I don't expect to find a pull down window on a command line. I would MUCH
rather type a '/' to do a find then reach for the mouse and go click click
click before typing, or doing an ,ALT-S F'.
The same method is used for doing a search with the less command as well as
the vi command.
It is different but I submit it is much better. When I'm forced to use a
Winders(tm) box (at work), I find the necessity of constantly reaching for the
mouse to do ANYTHING quite tiring and sluggish.
YMMV
