Seconding `fzf`, it's such an improvement from the stock Ctrl-R behavior I think it's worth installing even if you never actually run `fzf` at the command line itself. Hence why I led with the new shortcuts at https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf (fuzzy `cd` with Alt-C being the other one of note).

Interestingly, the default fish shell also comes with something similar these days, although I still prefer the look of `fzf`.

fzf is also really good when you want to make interactive bash scripts (or recipes in Justfiles or Makefiles).
