To search backwards:
*?<search>
+
+!Help I forgot the name of a command!
+
+In the man command you can specify a keyword to search for inside the description of the command you are looking for.
+For example if you remembered the application had something to do with partitioning:
+
+*man -k partition
+
+Results in:
+
+cfdisk (8) - Curses based disk partition table manipulator for Linux
+fdisk (8) - Partition table manipulator for Linux
+parted (8) - a partition manipulation program
+partprobe (8) - inform the OS of partition table changes
+sfdisk (8) - Partition table manipulator for Linux
+
+With a bit of luck you will find the name of the application you are after :)
