As there are both pre-appenders and post-appenders to this thread, I will 
pre-append (contra convention) as it seems more likely then to be seen by both 
groups!



This seems like a duplicate of a problem I opened a while back (2021) as 
#12433, and with an MWE attached.

I also had problems pinning it down to an MWE, so I am contributing here to 
help avoid an elongated discussion.

The problem is that reverse search works fine within a paragraph but it is 
limited to that one paragraph - it therefore appears to work at first until it 
reaches the start of a paragraph boundary,  whereupon it "stucks" as Patrick so 
beautifully puts it😊.

Kornel thought at the time that it was unlikely to be fixed in 2.4, but perhaps 
may be able to update us now on 2.5 prospects?
