# termsearch
[](https://github.com/zenoxygen/termsearch/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/termsearch)
A minimalist and super fast terminal history search tool, that uses a weighted scoring system to rank commands.
- Recency: more recent commands are given higher priority
- Frequency: commands used more frequently are given higher priority
*Note: it only works with `zsh` on Linux for now.*
## Usage
### Initialize termsearch
Add the following line to your `~/.zshrc` file:
```bash
eval "$(termsearch init)"
```
This rebinds **Ctrl+R** to use termsearch for searching your command history.
### Search for a command
```
termsearch search
```
- **Up/Down** and **Shift+Tab/Tab** navigate up/down through the search results.
- **Enter** selects the highlighted command and pastes it into the terminal's input line.
- **Ctrl+C**, **Ctrl+D**, **Esc** cancel the search.
### Options
```
-m, --max-history <MAX_HISTORY> Maximum number of history lines to read [default: 10000]
-r, --max-results <MAX_RESULTS> Maximum number of results to display [default: 10]
```
