Subject: Can I make pine not wrap around search?

In most programs when I search I do want wrap around search, but I realized
that often in pine I just want to search (with 'w') in the messages 
higher numbered than the one I'm currently on.

Or even if it only searched in new messages optionally that would
probably suit my needs.. (An example is when searching for build release
notices, I don't want to wait for it to go back and search the zillion
messages I already have, at least not most of the time..)

Yes you can search in only new messages, first press "; S N", that should
select only the "New" messages (this means Recent and Unseen messages),
then you can press "; N T", this will enable you to search for text among
the new messages you already selected. After that follow the instrcutions
in the menu in the bottom and that should help you do what you want, or at 
least get a good approximation to it.
