Search term highlighting using "less"
I'm using less to find terms in a 6 gb text file in OS X in the terminal. When I first search for the patter, it finds it, scrolls the document to the correct location, and highlights it. But when I search again, the document scrolls to a new further location (I'm assuming it's found the pattern again), but the term is nowhere to be seen. Sometimes if I scroll up or down using the arrow keys, it will be close to where I am, but usually not.
Anyone come across this before?
