Thanks, all. I did actually look at the grep manpage but after a few screenfuls it became tl;dr and I started just skimming. I suppose that I skimmed too fast!
Um....
It's the first option described.
I see now that the server's grep manpage (CentOS) does in fact put it right there at the top. I usually pull up manpages on localhost, not what I'm SSHing into, and on this Debian-Derived distro it is buried halfway down the third page of nine. That is interesting, and I'm sure that there is a lesson to be learned from that!
One help might be to use the slash key to search the man page.
/lines[enter]
Then use 'n' or 'N' to search forward/backward.
