This is strange, as n/N remember the other {offset} modifiers:

/thing/e
n

goes to the end of the next "thing" match. I'd consider classifying
this as a bug: either in behavior, or in (lack of)
clarification in the documentation.

With this information, you could do something like

:nnoremap n /<up><cr>

to get "n" behavior, but it gets tricky when you want to reverse it
(you'd have to swap the "/" for "?" in the "right" placs, and define
whether you want to search backwards for pattern#1, then forwards
for pattern#2 (what I suspect you want), or backwards for pattern#1
and then backwards further for pattern#2.
