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!
... Well. That makes two of us! That is really cool, though I find, especially in man pages, you need the context, so `/pattern` then `n` or `N` is handy. I never think to use `?` since once you start, `n` and `N` go forward and back just fine.
