======Synopsis:======
[[window]] search_forward "[<regex>]"

======Description:======
This operation moves the scrollback view forwards (newer) so the top of 
the window is the next newer line that matches the regex <regex>.  If 
there are no matches going forwards, it will beep.  If you omit <regex>
it will re-use the last <regex> you provided to either search_back or 
search_forward.

This operation may put you in scrollback view, which means you need to 
use [[window scroll_end]] to go back to the normal scrolling view.

You can read the [[window]] help file for more information about views.

======Examples:======
	/WINDOW SCROLL_START
	/WINDOW SEARCH_FORWARD "frob$"
	/WINDOW SEARCH_FORWARD 			(to repeat the search)
	/WINDOW SCROLL_END				(when you are done)

======History:======
This operation first appeared in EPIC4-1.1.8
