Description Frank 2017-09-23 13:06:41 UTC 
I experienced the behaviour on busybox 1.23.2 and 1.27.2. I cross compile busybox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for armv7 with the toolchain arm-linux-gnueabihf of Ubuntu.

The behaviour is as follows:

I open a file with vi and search with ':/string' for 'string'. Now I want to repeat the search with 'n' but the cursor moves just one position to the right. The expected result should be that the cursor jumps to the next hit.
