I have spacemacs and when I search for a word using / once it turns out that I can't access it later on using the up arrow. This feature is present in vim so how do I cycle through search history after hitting / ?

    I am not using spacemacs, but in vanilla emacs while using incremental search (C-s or C-r) you can cycle through the search ring via M-p and M-n.

  • ^ this worked for me. My meta is Esc so it was Esc-p or Esc-n
