Reproduced and confirmed with vanilla build of upstream 2.13.1-rc2. Also confirmed in upstream git. Reported upstream: To: util-linux-ng.org Subject: inability to search in 'more' The documented search facility of 'more' is broken. This was reported to Fedora as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428218 and I have confirmed that the behavior persists in in a git snapshot as of a few minutes ago, as well as in 2.13.1-rc2. Thanks! -Jon For the reporter, I'm sure that you know you can use 'less' in the meantime. It's much more full-featured, as well :) Also changed the component to reflect util-linux-ng I have verified that the behavior is as expected. If instead of MAILING in your test, you search for CFLAG, you'll find the correct behavior both in Fedora and upstream, based on the below explanation. Closing NOTABUG.

IMHO the behaviour is correct. I've tested more(8) on Fedora 7, RHEL3.7 and Debian 2.2 and I see the same behaviour everywhere. rhbz#428218: > Try something like > more /usr/share/doc/util-linux-ng-2.13/README<Enter> > /MAILING<Enter> > > It gives an error "Pattern not found". Sure, more(8) doesn't looking for the pattern everywhere in the file (unlike less(8)). The search facility works between the current position and end of file. The current position is at end of screen. BTW, the file more.c is unbelievable unreadable junk... Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak> Thanks for the explanation Karel. I'm used to more searching the whole page, but quite likely those systems have a different version of more, or even less pretending to be more. |
