For searching/expansion, it's a constant number of fields I use my own ctrl-r handler, which just runs `cut -d" " -f 4-`. Before that, I just used the standard history and used this as a comprehensive backup - grep, and

I don't think there are many governments in the western world that wouldn't get to that point. The entire point of client-side scanning was to head off the possibility of a law saying they have to scan everything server-side for t
