Yes, let us not ask too much.

Well, personally I am quite conformtable with Fish history search as my shell's 
default behavior. I do not find it troublesome at all - except a while ago when 
my Fish history file got corrupted. 

On the other hand, I could also live with Bash's C-r and C-s, especially now 
that I understand that C-s is turned off by default in some distributions. So, 
I guess I should request the "history search feature" seperately, in order to 
keep the request managable.
