How do you search subnodes in Pinfo?

Question

I run

pinfo zsh

I would like find the manual for typeset.

I type in pinfo

/typeset

It only searches the current screen.

How can you search all other nodes too in Zsh's manuals in Pinfo?

It depends on what various configuration settings are. In my /etc/pinforc there is:

...
KEY_TOTALSEARCH_1='s'
...
KEY_SEARCH_AGAIN_1='f'
...

So pressing 's' lets me enter a search expression, and then pressing 'f' finds the next match within all nodes and so on.

You can set these within your own ~/.pinforc, too.

	These keys are defaults for me. And "f" works following a "/". – Dennis Williamson Jul 16 '09 at 3:00
	I get the following bug after searching with `s`. When try to move, it puts those codes to my manual directly. Otherwise, the commands seems to work. files.getdropbox.com/u/175564/pinfo-bug.png – Masi Jul 16 '09 at 9:01
	OK. So my answer is not correct? – Sean Bright Jul 23 '09 at 14:18
