Can someone explain why this was not one of the first features added? Who doesn't want to search their history? There must be some complication.

Mitchell raised the issue himself two years ago: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189



As someone who lives in the terminal, I can't say I've ever had the need to do that. It's only by reading the comments that I've realised that there's no search in Ghostty.


probably because you never volunteered to code it up.

but really not all features can make it in 1.0


Guessing its "hard to do it right".
