Vi search starting from line n --- any trick for this ???

Hi all,

It does not seem to be possible to use vi to search from text from line n forward or backward or is there a not well known vi trick to do that?

What I am trying to do is for example I am on line 100 and I want to search from line 100 backward or forward for a specific text. Using / and ? seems to either start from the top and from the bottom and not from which line you are currently in.

Can anyone advise if what I am wanting to do is possible or not?

Thanks in advance.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH 
CONFIGURATION(7) SQL Commands CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION(7) NAME
CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION - define a new text search configuration SYNOPSIS
CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name ( PARSER = parser_name | COPY = source_config ) DESCRIPTION
CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION creates a new text search configuration. A text search configuration specifies a text search parser that can divide a string into tokens, plus dictionaries that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching. If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration initially has no mappings from token types to dictionaries, and therefore will ignore all words. Subsequent ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION commands must be used to create mappings to make the configura- tion useful. Alternatively, an existing text search configuration can be copied. If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner. Refer to in the documentation for further information. PARAMETERS
name The name of the text search configuration to be created. The name can be schema-qualified. parser_name The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration. source_config The name of an existing text search configuration to copy. NOTES
The PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an existing configuration is copied, its parser selection is copied too. COMPATIBILITY
There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION statement in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
