Yeah ok now you say it I realise I do sometimes pipe help to less too. It's just that typically I'll run it bare or piped to grep/rg first, and potentially stop there. I too don't use terminal search for pretty much the same reason, and just never got into it for whatever reason.

(Alacritty has a tonne of great features I just haven't taken the time to learn the muscle memory to use.. ctrl-j/k bindings to scroll back and some custom patterns to open as URLs is about it.)
