Have you tried zsh with histdb? It's been an absolute gamechanger. Having a complete, precise, and effectively infinite history is like a second brain.

I know not everyone is on the zsh train, but it might be able to be ported to bash (it's just pre-hooks and some sqlite)

A quick Google turns up this [1]. Haven't verified it works though.

Oh! I actually used this before switching to histdb. IIRC it works-ish but there was less polish than histdb.

Bash is the only shell I've ever used, but one day when time permits I'm looking forward to taking zsh for a test drive.
