It seems that the gnome terminal does not support
word search? It looks strange to me, 'cause it's
an important function: I couldn't find any item
that would do that.
Any hint?

Rodolfo:

Quote:
Search for a word or an expression in the whole terminal `history'.
This is very useful, almost indispensable in some cases.
I used to use that quite often with KDE graphical environment,
before switching to Gnome.

Assuming you are using bash, you can use Ctrl-R to search back through
your command history.


I suppose the OP wants to search the output history. But except from
using screen I have no solution either.

(apologies for having sent this to Jochen and not the list on my first try)

Use the 'screen' program. It divides your terminal into multiple screens
that support session logging, cut and paste and history searching.
