In this Menuconfig, pressing the key in the (#) prefix will jump
directly to that location. You will be returned to the current search
results after exiting this new menu.

In nconfig, exiting always returns to the top of the search output, not
to where the (#) was displayed on the search output screen.

This patch fixes that by saving the current position in the search.

Now I have another issue. :(

Here is my test case: x86_64 defconfig.

SymSearch (F8) for MSR.
Page Down to #3. Select 3.
X86_MSR is about 7 lines below the highlighted line in the menu,
which is confusing and sometimes it's not obvious what the correct
line for the symbol is.

In menuconfig, the highlighted line is precisely on X86_MSR.

Can nconfig be more precise about which menu line it highlights?

Thanks for your help.

Oh jeez, how did I miss this?
I will fix this asap as this seems to be a big issue as it can easily
cause confusion.
Weirdly all the test cases I used were fine, but I found a few more like this.

Thanks,
Jesse Taube

As it turns out, your initial nconf search is not mature enough.

I will drop it from my tree.
