My first guess was that this might be a feature of the shell, not the
terminal, but I couldn't find anything in bash or zsh. But it would be
possible running screen in the terminal and search it's scrollback buffer.

Then I've just googled it:

Some terminals support ctrl+shift+f to search in the buffer. I've just
tried xfce-terminal and it works.

Installing that terminal should be as easy as
sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal
... at least it is on ubuntu
