There are two history search features in fish that I really like: One is searching for a half typed command as above, but the other one that I haven’t found elsewhere is completing words from other commands. For example, I can type ‘touch something’ and later on do ‘cat some’ and then press option+up and fish will complete it to ‘something’.

After using ZSH I have that first feature and love it. I try to keep as much of my history as possible and it's amazing how much time you can save that way. Does that second feature not clutter up that history though?
