Searching should be limited to the extent of the displayed text to which the more-prompt applies; this is in itself a new functionality, maybe (or maybe not) worth a new has() feature which could be included/excluded at compile-time. Searching backward with ? might be possible, from the more prompt to (at most) the first line to which more-prompt commands will accept to scroll. For scrolling forward with / the whole text displayed must be inspected "on the fly" and let run -- until when? Maybe (if not found) until the hit-enter-prompt is about to give control back to the user?
