This is "a feature."  This has been discussed before and the developers
have consistently suggested that users employ an external pager to see
source with lines wrapped, content over 80 columns wide, etc.  For example
define most as a download option.

Look again.  It should be there, usually as 'n'.  The only thing strange
is that it is its own command and not a modifier on /.  In late models you
can also play with up-arrow to scroll through your recent searchables in 
case what you want to find next is not the most recent thing you searched
for but a recent search target.

   All search words or strings which you have entered during a Lynx
   session are saved in a circular buffer, and can be retrieved for
   re-use by pressing the up-arrow or down-arrow keys at the prompt for a
   search word or string. Also, you can use the 'n'ext command to repeat
   a search with the last-entered search word or phrase, starting from
   the current position in the document. The word or phrase matches will
   be highlighted throughout the document, but such highlighting will not
   persist for new documents, or if the current document is reloaded. The
   search cycles to the top of the document if the word or phrase is not
   located below your current position.
