I use Alacritty as my terminal emulator. To be honest I am not sure why... it gets out of my way and seems top be fast enough
Anyway, I wanted to be able to search the scrollback buffer.
That is quite trivial in alacritty., although as I haven't read the manual I struggled to find it.
ctrl+f , as I first tried, does not work, but ctrl+shift+f does.
Search
Search allows you to find anything in Alacritty's scrollback buffer. You can search forward using Ctrl Shift f (Command f on macOS) and backward using Ctrl Shift b (Command b on macOS).

There is also a Vi mode , with standard vi search
