Searching in less has gone wacky.

Run this:

  seq 100 | less

Search forward for "40":

  /40

Search backward for "9":

  ?9

I should be at 39. I'm at 59!

I've also noticed a new feature where if you search for the same thing twice
in a row, less stays on the first match and beeps instead of advancing to the
next match.

If not bugs, then these are insane new features, especially the one that
moves forward when I search backward. less is too old to be growing new
incompatible behaviors.
