           Summary: Ctrl+R to search backwards in history from the address
                    bar
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rampant at gmail.com


This is a feature request inspired by Bash/Terminal.app.

While running Terminal.app, the command history can be searched interactively
by pressing Ctrl+R. After entering a few characters from a command, the most
recently executed match is shown, ready for execution. Pressing Ctrl+R again
will cycle backwards in history.

When implementing this feature in Safari, page titles and urls could be used as
metadata. This would make it much easier to find history items when the time of
last access is unknown, without having to introduce a "Search History" menu
item.
