man pages use vi-style navigation and searching.
The keys I use most in man pages are:
/ = search forward
? = search backward
n = find the next match
Home or g or gg = go to top of page
End or Shift g = go to end of page
Those few keys should help a lot.
Hope that helps you, dos-man.

Man pages are one of my pet peeves with linux. A horrid documentation
system. They're just glorified text files! A lot of programmers
don't seem to do a good job of documenting their programs, or perhaps
they are just lazy? Pairing them up with man pages is just a disaster.
