Ctrl-r works well at searching character trigrams, which can include space. Trigrams without space work well with auto_resume=substring .

Re:Start all of your commands with a comma

this. which(1) and whereis(1) are not bash, only an approximation or coincidence at best:
$ type -a which
which is /usr/bin/which
As a bash built-in, only the type command invokes the installed bash's code path to resolve command words: $ type -a type
type is a shell builtin
type is /usr/bin/type
$ help type
type: type [-afptP] name [name ...]
Display information about command type.
For each NAME, indicate how it would be interpreted if used as a
command name.
Options:
-a display all locations containing an executable named NAME;
includes aliases, builtins, and functions, if and only if
the `-p' option is not also used
-f suppress shell function lookup
-P force a PATH search for each NAME, even if it is an alias,
builtin, or function, and returns the name of the disk file
that would be executed
-p returns either the name of the disk file that would be executed,
or nothing if `type -t NAME' would not return `file'
-t output a single word which is one of `alias', `keyword',
`function', `builtin', `file' or `', if NAME is an alias,
shell reserved word, shell function, shell builtin, disk file,
or not found, respectively
Arguments:
NAME Command name to be interpreted.
Exit Status:
Returns success if all of the NAMEs are found; fails if any are not found.
