ctrl + r in linux / ubuntu terminal command line

Question

With CTRL + R you can search in previous commands (in the terminal of Ubuntu). However, it always seems to display the last occurrence of the search term. Is there any way to browse through all results?

Answer 1

After you type the few characters to search, you can press CTRL+R again to browse through the history that matches what you typed.

It will be limited to the history size though.

Answer 2

You just need to press CTRL-R again.

Answer 3

If you just want to see all matching history lines at once, try fc -ln | grep.

mress:10077 Z$ fc -ln -100 | grep \^cd 
cd /Volumes/Development/android-sdk-mac_x86
cd ~/Downloads/MagicTrackpad.pkg
cd Resources
cd English.lproj
cd ../..
cd MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpdate1.0.pkg
cd ..
cd 

(-100 means "the last 100 commands"; the default is 20, or you can specify a range.)
