Describe the feature
IRIS already provides history through Ctrl+R, but there is no explicit option to search or filter the history list independently.
When browsing a large command history, finding a specific command can be difficult without a dedicated search action.
It should be implemented because
Add an option in history mode to search/filter the available command history.
The search should:
- Accept a text query.
- Filter history entries as the query changes.
- Reuse the existing history search/fuzzy matching logic where possible.
- Preserve the existing history navigation and selection behavior.
- Continue supporting the existing history sources, including shell history and Atuin when enabled.
Example
- Open history with
Ctrl+R.
- Choose the search option.
- Type a query such as
docker compose.
- Show matching history entries.
- Navigate and select a result as usual.
Additional context
The current history implementation already supports fuzzy and substring matching, so this feature could build on that functionality rather than introducing another search engine.
