Perhaps I don't understand this 'bash' feature, but it doesn't seem
to work for me.
Start typing a command, press Ctrl-Up, and it finds the previous
line in the history that started like that.
Why not simply type Ctrl-R then the first few letters of a command
(or some letters in the middle of a command). Works great! Requires
no support from any terminal emulator...
Yes, obviously you can bind the history search to any key you like.
The points were, since you seemed to have missed them, that 1) that's
the default binding for bash and 2) it doesn't require MinTTY, nor
xterm, nor any particular terminal emulator. IOW it works out of the
box, in fact works in Cygwin's bash Windows console window and does not
even restrict you to locating only the start of a command. All win, win,
win situations as I see it.
