control shift R, then start typing, it will search your bash history

I recommend using mcfly for that, it makes it even better.

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 why I switched to fish; it seems to be much smarter understanding what I want to type.

Yeah it's great how ctrl-r is kinda the default instead of something you have to go out of your way to use. Just start typing a command and the up arrow will only cycle through history that matches what you've typed so far.
