Question

How do you search for tabs in the linux command less?

I've tried /\t but that only seems to search for the character t.

Solution 1

At the risk of suggesting the obvious:

/Tab

works fine for me.

Solution 2

Press / then CtrlV, followed by Tab.

Solution 3

You can search for tabs using /^I (where ^I is Crtl+i).
