Interesting! I'd always thought of it as "f"orward.

Is there any official reference to it standing for find? Googling has found a few unofficial references, but help doesn't appear to say either way.

In vim's usr_03.txt manual file, it says:

> One of the most useful movement commands is the single-character search command. The command "fx" searches forward in the line for the single character x. Hint: "f" stands for "Find".

That seems official.
