This tip from a digg discussion just made me 12% more efficient when working in the bash shell:
...note that the most efficent way to search your history is to hit Ctrl R and type the start of the command. It will autocomplete as soon as there's a match to a history entry, then you just hit enter...
The internets are just full of useful information.

(bash is a unix shell. A shell session is where you interact with the command line - sort of like dropping into DOS and getting a C> from Windows, except better.)
