Typing <kbd>C-s</kbd> searches forward through the history. +The characters present in the value of the <code>isearch-terminators</code> variable +are used to terminate an incremental search. +If that variable has not been assigned a value, the <tt class="key">ESC</tt> and +<kbd>C-J</kbd> characters will terminate an incremental search. +<kbd>C-g</kbd> will abort an incremental search and restore the original line. +When the search is terminated, the history entry containing the +search string becomes the current line. +</p> +<p>To find other matching entries in the history list, type <kbd>C-r</kbd> or +<kbd>C-s</kbd> as appropriate. +This will search backward or forward in the history for the next +entry matching the search string typed so far. +Any other key sequence bound to a Readline command will terminate +the search and execute that command. +For instance, a <tt class="key">RET</tt> will terminate the search and accept +the line, thereby executing the command from the history list. +A movement command will terminate the search, make the last line found +the current line, and begin editing. +</p> +<p>Readline remembers the last incremental search string. If two +<kbd>C-r</kbd>s are typed without any intervening characters defining a new +search string, any remembered search string is used. +</p> +<p>Non-incremental searches read the entire search string before starting +to search for matching history lines. The search string may be +typed by the user or be part of the contents of the current line. +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Previous: <a href="Readline-Arguments.html#Readline-Arguments" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Readline Arguments</a>, Up: <a href="Readline-Interaction.html#Readline-Interaction" accesskey="u" rel="up">Readline Interaction</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Concept-Index.html#Concept-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
