- Incremental searches begin before the user has finished
+ Incremental searches begin before the user has finished
typing the search string. As each character of the search
string is typed, readline displays the next entry from the
- history matching the string typed so far. An incremental
- search requires only as many characters as needed to find
- the desired history entry. The Escape character is used
- to terminate an incremental search. Control-J will also
- terminate the search. Control-G will abort an incremental
- search and restore the original line. When the search is
- terminated, the history entry containing the search string
- becomes the current line. To find other matching entries
- in the history list, type Control-S or Control-R as appro-
- priate. This will search backward or forward in the his-
- tory for the next line matching the search string typed so
- far. Any other key sequence bound to a readline command
- will terminate the search and execute that command. For
- instance, a _\bn_\be_\bw_\bl_\bi_\bn_\be will terminate the search and accept

- list.
