How can I make less show the previous couple of lines when I search for something? I'd like to get rid of the kkk steps in my usual process:
/keywordkkk- (read)
nkkk- (read)

$ less -j 4 file
That will put the pattern you searched for on line 4 of the terminal.
To save typing this every time, you can put LESS=j4 into your environment.
