The one issue I've seen with using `-p` here is that `git log -p` has worse performance when compared to plain `git log` because it needs to calculate diffs, and when searching in less ends up searching the diff contents (even when this is not desired)

If you know the specific string (or regex) you’re searching for in the commit messages, combining `-p` with one of the pickaxe [0] options might be a bit faster.
