Search was the first thing I noticed it was lacking. I hope it can be added at some point, sometimes you can't just run a command again to grep it.

Guessing y’all mean search of the scrollback buffers?

(probably, I was also looking for that)

Mitchell said it is planned in a recent interview on the Changelog podcast[1], just not in time for 1.0.

The kitty method of piping the scroll back buffer to a pager is more general - it also seems like a quick fix to achieve this desired feature.

I really like how Kitty handles search. I thought it was a hack at first - then came to realize why re-implement search if less works better?

I noticed a keybinding for write_scrollback_file (defaults to super+shift+j) which does this. So you can use `grep something <super+shift+j>` to search for things. It's a nice workaround until search is implemented.
