I guess that's true when you're a company trying to sell a product. For an open source project more popularity might just mean more hassle. Sure, it may increase your employment opportunities somewhat, but seeing how entitled and demanding users of os-software can be, I'm sure some devs wish their projects were less popular.

You can set on what line on the screen less (the pager program man uses by default) puts search results with the
-jn
/--jump-target=n
option. For example, using.5
as a value for n makes less focus the line with the search result on the center of the screen. This should help with your overshoot issue.Either set the option within less with the
-
command followed byj.5
↵ for the current running instance of less, or set and export theLESS
environment variable inside your~/.bashrc
to have less always behave that way.
