Ctrl+R
Then type any part of the command (filename, search string, etc)
Ctrl+R again to cycle through the matches.
(Best feature in bash)
Use fzf for a more visual search.
This is the way.
I've been using this for a long time, never knew I could press Ctrl + R again. Thanks!
Ctrl + S to go the other way if you overshoot!
Or history | grep 'command'
history | grep 'command'
Can't just hit enter to run the one you want then, though.
Type: !1234 ... to run whatever history number of the command.
Wish I knew this sooner.
But how to go backwards and forwards through the results? I just cycle through again!!
As @wandering_nomad@lemmy.world said above, Ctrl+S
