Search backward
copy mode
// what it does
Pressing ? opens a search prompt and runs `search-backward`, moving the cursor to the next match toward the top (older end) of the buffer. This is the one to use when the text you want is above your current position in the scrollback.

?
// gotcha
Direction is the opposite of /: ? walks toward older output. Like /, the term is a case-sensitive regular expression and the search wraps around the buffer, so a match below your position can still be found after wrapping.
