Instead of
history | grep 'something'
, you can just use Ctrl+R to search your history. I use zsh + prezto which adds sub-string search.+1. Also, when you've narrowed the search, you can continue hitting Ctrl+R to navigate backward in time, through all the commands that match.
I'm sold if you can tell me a way to get back to exactly where I was when I started after I find what I need.
IIRC, you can press tab and that will dump your cursor at the end of the line, once you've found the command you want.
