Wow!  How is it that I've been using "more" (and then "less")
directly and as the pager for "man" for 35 years and never
tripped across the "&" command?!!?!?

I knew "/" for forward search, "?" for backward search, but not
"&" which filters out all unmatched lines, showing only the
matches.  Nice!

When was this command added to "less"?  Or was it there as
far back as the original "more?

Thanks, Jeff!
