(reverse-i-search)`': - After you have typed what you are looking for, use the CTRL-R key combination to scroll backward through the history.
- Use CTRL+R repeatedly to find every reference to the string you've entered. Once you've found the command you're looking for, use [Enter] to execute it. Alternatively, using the right or left arrow keys will place the command on an actual command-line so you can edit it.
