Hi again

I did man bash | less -i and typed /PARAMETER EXPANSION it said
"Pattern not found"

From man less:

-i or --ignore-case
Causes searches to ignore case; that is, uppercase and
lowercase are considered identical. This option is ignored
if any uppercase letters appear in the search pattern; in
other words, if a pattern contains uppercase letters,
then that search does not ignore case.

-I or --IGNORE-CASE
Like -i, but searches ignore case even if the pattern
contains uppercase letters.


Since you used the -i (lower-case i) switch, and provided an argument
with capital letters, it was a case sensitive search.
You want to either use the -I (upper-case I) switch, or provide a
lower-case argument.
