Years ago, I used a tool called CED and PCED on DOS systems. I could type in "abc" and press an up-arrow and it would walk back through my stack of DOS commands showing only those with "abc" in them.
There's *got* to be a similar tool for bash, but my google-fu is weak today.
Thanks for suggestions or links.
look for 'command line editing in bash' The default mode is emacs style controls for moving through history and on a line to insert and delete. There is also a 'vi' mode set up by entering 'set -o vi' that does the same thing.
