Bug Description
Binary package hint: most
When using most as a man page viewer (eg "PAGER=most man man"), if you search for a word that is highlighted (in the case of the man man page 'DESCRIPTION'), you have to press n twice to progress to the next match. 'n' is used in most when searching to progress to the next search.
To reproduce
1. install most
2. in a terminal: "PAGER=most man man"
3. You will see the man page for man
4. type in "/DESCRIPTION". (without the quotes), this will tell most to search for the string 'DESCRIPTION'
5. The cursor will move to the D in DESCRIOTION (this is what we want)
6. Press the n key, this will tell most to move to the next matched string
what happens:
The cursor doesn't move
what should happen:
the cursor should move to the next occurance of 'DESCRIPTION' (which is a few lines down)
pressing n again will move to the next 'DESCRIPTION'.
All the occurances of 'DESCRIPTION' that are highlighted in red take 2 presses of n to move to the next. if it's not highlighted in red, then you only have to press n once.
