Using a default terminal and bash, there is no functionality to search the standard output of commands.
One can gain such functionality using other tools, like emacs shell or screen, but I am wondering why such a useful feature is missing, I do remember a simple C-F used to work in terminals.
Is there a way to make the Gnome terminal app support output search? or is there a better terminal app that support searching output natively?

not give you what you desire? You can search text inless
and many other pagers. Also, shouldn't this be on super user?less
is good for one command output, but I often do multiple commands and come back later with the need to search all output
