How do I search in lists with irssi?

Folks, The irssi irc client operates in a condensed window, without the option of scrolling up and down through output. So when i run the /list command on a busy irc network, is there any way to pipe that output to a file?
Any way to do :

/list | grep -i blah

Is there a shortcut to scroll irssi window?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can scroll. Have you tried page up/down? – Phoshi Sep 25 '12 at 18:01
updown on mbp? dont know what that is :) – Clustermagnet Sep 25 '12 at 18:32
@Phoshi: Have fun searching in 13,000 channels on FreeNode! :P – Tom Wijsman Sep 25 '12 at 18:38
@Clustermagnet: Some networks don't want you to do this because of the amount of traffic it takes, and some even automatically disconnect you for flooding. You might want to try a website instead which makes it handy to search for channels on and across networks. – Tom Wijsman Sep 25 '12 at 18:39
guys, solved! on mbp you can use /elist -min 100, then hit fn+arrow up :) – Clustermagnet Sep 25 '12 at 18:45

Another interesting way of listing interesting channels:

  • Install elist addon for irssi http://scripts.irssi.org/

  • /elist -min 100

    on macbook pro, using iterm, hit FN+arrow keys for page up/dn in irssi :)
