With the syntax bellow the less will do a normal search like using the '/' char, but will look for the 2th occurrence of our regex expression and once found will jump to it immediately to display.
$ man tune2fs | less -R +2/-U -X -U UUID Set the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the filesystem to UUID. The format of the UUID is a series of hex digits separated by hyphens, like this: "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16". The UUID parameter may also be one of the following: clear clear the filesystem UUID random generate a new randomly-generated UUID time generate a new time-based UUID The UUID may be used by mount(8), fsck(8), and /etc/fstab(5) (and possibly others) by specifying UUID=uuid instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda1. See uuidgen(8) for more information. If the system does not have a good random number generator such as /dev/random or /dev/urandom, tune2fs will automatically use a time-based UUID instead of a randomly-generated UUID.
