I have two files in two locations:

$ grep housing .bash_history |sort |uniq
vim Tenancy-Feb-2021/housing-log.txt
vim Tenancy-Jul-2023/housing.txt

As you can see, both are in the history file.

However if I do:

"CTRL-R hous"

this will only find "Tenancy-Feb-2021/housing-log.txt" but not
"Tenancy-Jul-2023/housing.txt"

This has been happening since I created the latter file
"Tenancy-Jul-2023/housing.txt".

Odd, isn't it?

This hides some information that might be useful such as the order of
the commands.

You mean that it finds "vim Tenancy-Feb-2021/housing-log.txt"?
I.e. that this line shows up:

(reverse-i-search)`hous': vim Tenancy-Feb-2021/housing-log.txt

And by not finding the other you mean that an immediate second Ctrl^R
press causes the above line to change to

(failed reverse-i-search)`hous': vim Tenancy-Feb-2021/housing-log.txt

immediately?

Yes, that is odd.

I can't reproduce it on my system (Ubuntu, bash 5.2.0(11)-release).

Does "history | grep housing | sort | uniq" show both commands? Perhaps
your shell's internal history doesn't match the contents of the
..bash_history file. Is $HISTFILE set correctly?

(BTW, "sort | uniq" can be replaced by "sort -u".)

Odd? Yes. Try:

"CTRL-R vim T"

repeated CTRL-R will get you all instances in history which
begin "vim T". Is that any use to you?
