I switched to fish a bit more than a year ago. I used to have a script with shorthands of frequently used long commands because I just couldn't get to them easily enough with bash's ctrl+r.
Now with fish, I don't need that anymore. Pressing up a few times always gets what I need and I don't need to come up with names for shorthands. (If I really want to name it, I can always add a # "tag" at the end. A trick I picked up from one of the post here (I can't remember which one).)
Although sometimes I do wish there was a keyword search feature treating space as a separator for what I've already typed. One frequent case is when I'm looking for `rsync --bunch --of --options user@server:path other_path`. I remember `rsync` and I remember `user@server` (or one of the two paths) but not the rest (and I also ssh, sftp, scp, etc to the same place a lot).
