Can I Search In The Terminal Backlog In Terminator


Answer :

Terminator has a built-in search (ctrl-shift-f is the default keybinding), but it doesn't highlight the found text, which makes it fairly useless.

There's a bug open against terminator to fix this, but right now it's still unresolved:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/terminator/+bug/271487


This actually has been resolved for terminator 2.1, yes good things do happen in 2020. However it's not on the repo yet, but you can clone the github terminator repo

And follow the steps form install guide

Basically it will take you to

git clone git@github.com:gnome-terminator/terminator.git  sudo apt-get install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo python3-psutil python3-configobj \                  gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 gir1.2-vte-2.91 gettext intltool dbus-x11  # In the folder where you've cloned the repo python3 setup.py build python3 setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=install-files.txt 

you should be able to spawn a terminal from that point by running from the folder where you've cloned the repo

python3 terminator 

And have the desired search working
