Hi,
Try "man bash" at the command prompt. Search for reverse.
Essentially the search (and other functions) match emacs keybindings.

All one had to do was type in a few characters of a string from a previously entered command and press the up/down arrow keys. This would cycle through your command history but only displayed the commands that matched the string you entered. This would make repeating commands a lot faster and easier.
