Linux 'man' command: How do I search for a word/phrase and cycle through?

Question

When looking for a certain word or phrase in the man page of linux command, one can type '/' followed by the word/phrase to search for it.

What I'd like to be able to do is to search for the next occurrence of the word/phrase without having to type it out again. Kinda like when you use 'ctrl+f' in a browser to search for a word, and then press 'enter' to find the next occurrence of that word.

If this is possible to do, how do I do it?

Answer 1

Use n and ShiftN for the next and previous matches.

(The default pager used for manual pages is less, which has similar shortcuts to those in the vim text editor.)

Answer 2

Type / followed by Enter; an empty regex always means the previous successfully matched regex.
