I want to do a reverse search in unix shell. The Ctrl-R gives me the opportunity to specify the search string. The problem is that the command does not give me “enough time” to specify the string. Example: I want to reverse-search for “global”. I enter the characters but as soon as I enter the ‘g’, it returns a result.
How can I specify a string of arbitrary length?
Thanks you,
Patrick
If you’re talking about bash (for example) just keep typing — the result updates as you type.
