Hmm, I was searching for things on the current screen (i.e. things
that I could see)  How is the :"current position" determined?  I agree
that this is reproducible on many different distros (since I compiled
the upstream code and it was there), which is why I reported it here
I also couldn't believe that the reporter wasn't use less for this
functionality, which I suggested to him.
