In jed 99.17 you can bind the function cua_repeat_search() to a key (or use
the CUA emulation where it is bound to Ctrl-L).

Otherwise use the following function

%{{{ repeat_search()  % should go to srchmisc.sl
%                       (and be used by ide.sl and brief.sl)
%!%+
%\function{repeat_search}
%\synopsis{continue searching with last searchstring}
%\usage{define repeat_search ()}
%\seealso{LAST_SEARCH, search_forward, search_backward}
%!%-
public define repeat_search()
{
   !if (strlen(LAST_SEARCH))
     {
	message("no previous search");
	return menu_select_menu("Global.&Search");
     }
   go_right (1);
   !if (fsearch(LAST_SEARCH)) error ("Not found.");
}
%}}}

This can be done by e.g.

define search_load_popup_hook (menubar)
{
   menu_insert_item (2, "Global.&Search", "Repeat &Search", "repeat_search");
}
append_to_hook ("load_popup_hooks", &search_load_popup_hook);

in .jedrc.

However, with the current setting (and mutt) I have the easy choice of
replying to the sender alone with "r" or the list with "L".
