Hello, When viewing a message, I can use "/text" to search for the first instance of "text" in the buffer. How do I repeat this and find the 2nd or even 3rd instance of "text"? Thanks -- Brian May <brian at microcomaustralia.com.au>

Instead of going to the next search results, it hides the results of the last search. Furthermore, the help on my system says n has a different function: n : Jump to next open message -- Brian May <brian at microcomaustralia.com.au>

The search feature seems to really only search the buffer, and not the ?collapsed? text (e.g. message body text in a closed message). The same applies to hitting ?n? to advance to the next search result. -- med v?nlig h?lsning David J. Hamilton

Like I said, ''n'' hides all the existing search results. ''n'' would appear to map to the "Jump to next open message" function, not the "find next search result" function. -- Brian May <brian at microcomaustralia.com.au>

If I search for text using ?/?, subsequently hitting ?n? moves to the next instance. However, if I hit something like ?j? or ?k? then the search is unhighlighted and ?n? switches back to its ?Jump to next open message? function. The only other thing I can think of is that when I run a search in a buffer that has no results, ?n? never changes from its ?Jump to next open message? function. In any case, if somebody more knowledgeable than me gets to your question, hopefully they can shed some light on how one can do a search (in a thread buffer) of an entire thread''s content, and not merely the content of the open messages. -- med v?nlig h?lsning David J.
