Yeah standard bash Ctrl+r is just so painful. I much rather use “history | grep searchtearm” than that awfull search. fzf is a whole other level. But nowadays I just use fish shell which IMO has even better search than fzf
I have been suggested alternative programs to install to work with Ctrl+r, which are supposed to work better, but I just end up using kwrite ~/.bash_history when Ctrl+r fails.
What does CTRL+R do?
Lets you easily and interactively search your command history.
Half the stuff I do is usually preceded by that, it’s really useful!
Oh that is nice, I usually use ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
“I knew I had an ls somewhere in my history”
That’s part of the natural progression. Can’t remember if that comes before or after “history | grew command.”
Adding fzf to the mix makes Ctrl+r even better.

Just wait until you discover fish/zsh autosuggestions.
As annoying as using a non-posix compatible shell sometimes is, fish saves me so much time
