Hello,
When viewing a message, I can use "/text" to search for the first
instance of "text" in the buffer.
How do I repeat this and find the 2nd or even 3rd instance of "text"?
Thanks

Doesn't work. Instead of going to the next search results, it hides
the results of the last search.
Furthermore, the help on my system says n has a different function:
n : Jump to next open message

I use 'n'.

You might want to retry with all of the messages open. The search feature seems
to really only search the buffer, and not the “collapsed” text (e.g. message
body text in a closed message). The same applies to hitting ‘n’ to advance to
the next search result.

Yes, tried that.
Like I said, 'n' hides all the existing search results.
'n' would appear to map to the "Jump to next open message" function,
not the "find next search result" function.

In that case, my local copy of sup (v0.11 on ruby 1.8.7) is just behaving
differently from yours for some reason. If I search for text using ‘/’,
subsequently hitting ‘n’ moves to the next instance. However, if I hit
something like ‘j’ or ‘k’ then the search is unhighlighted and ‘n’ switches back
to its “Jump to next open message” function.
The only other thing I can think of is that when I run a search in a buffer that has
no results, ‘n’ never changes from its “Jump to next open message” function.
In any case, if somebody more knowledgeable than me gets to your question,
hopefully they can shed some light on how one can do a search (in a thread
buffer) of an entire thread's content, and not merely the content of the open
messages.
