Recently I've installed Ripgrep, which is much faster than my previous favorite Ack, and faster than good old Grep/Egrep. After defining the above function, history searches are much faster!

Instead of grepping through the Bash history file, I use my new Ripgrep-powered function: LimitationsThis function only works if you have Ripgrep installed It's not really needed unless you have "infinite history" turned on. |
