What
After accepting a reverse history search, the cursor now lands on the last case-insensitive occurrence of your search term in the recalled line, instead of a fixed position. If the term is not found in the line, the cursor goes to the end.
Details
- Leaving the search without accepting now restores the input to its pre-search state.
