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...
