tmux doesn't search scrollback across line breaks -

maybe wrong configuration, when search tmux scrollback typing:

prefix-[ / <search target> 

instances of search target interrupted line breaks (because tmux pane or terminal window narrow or search target long, or it's bad luck) not found. if resize pane instance of search target not interrupted line break, tmux finds it.

is there way perform search tmux finds stuff in wrapped lines?

by way, pretty bad bug , reduces confidence in tmux. should not possible perform search, regardless of method or configuration, fails finds instances of search target. searches used confirm presence or absence of something, , in way tmux providing false negative test result. guess should stick grepping files safe. know there way put tmux scrollback in file.

kind of sad.
