history | grep ‘command’

I use this all the time. Even better if you add it as a function.

I got that as hgrep
Mine is hists for ‘history search’. Interesting how we came up with different names for the same thing.

This is my approach, and for those who don't know, you can use those line numbers that come back from history to rerun the command. Like if your output is something like this:

$ history | grep tmp 501 ls /tmp 502 history | grep tmp

You can run !501 and it will just re-run ls /tmp

Yall are missing out on autocomplete.
I love autocomplete, use it all the time.
