There seems to be a contingent that just doesn't use scroll back search, which I find kind of baffling.

There are a ton of people who _immediately_ open tmux/zellij/etc. when they're doing anything in the terminal. This means you use its backscroll and search feature, and you wouldn't notice.

@mitchellh seems to rely on the Ghostty feature to dump scrollback to a file, and edit/search over that.

I found it a bit too inconvenient when using remote systems frequently, though. (If I'm missing a trick, I'd love to use Ghostty! But I'm just not a fan of multiplexers.)

I’ve never used scrollback search, and it was a discovery for me that there’s a contingent that are very vocal in their demands for scrollback search.

I can see why someone would feel attached to this feature though.

Mostly I’m looking forward to seeing it implemented so I can stop reading complaints about this being missing in every thread about ghostty!

I use ctrl+R for search that way I'm not dependent of a terminal emulator features and can get to work even on random computers.

Honestly, I had never even heard of it before this very thread. It doesn't seem all that useful to me, but I don't truthfully know how much or how little I would use it in practice.
