I feel dirty for still using history | grep ls lol

I usually alias that to "bastard", I agree with a very dirty feeling.

What if history only shows the last 10-15 entries? You might have to actually type the location of the history file or find out if history has any command line switches. (Does it have any switches? Dunno.)

Edit: I think CIS Benchmarks recommended limiting bash history. Regardless, I have seen some installations that only show an abbreviated bash history by default.
