searching i manual pages

[Tore_1]

Hi, when I search in a manpage for a keyword
using /"keyword" and "n", is it possible to
get a hightligth of the match as is normal
in other unix variants?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will work, but you could give it a shot:

#export PAGER="less"
#man my_command

However, whether or not items are highlighted can also depend on your terminal type (and if it supports ANSI).

Regards,

This worked fine. Thanks.
