With C-r you need to first type C-r, then type your search key. With the OP's inputrc nice hack, you first type the begining of your command, and then up. To me

- buddhistpirate 14y agoWith Ctrl-R it is the same. If you start typing a command, then type Ctrl-R it will use that as the first part of your search.
