The `search-history` picker
picker-search-history: every `/` pattern you have searched, newest first; <CR> puts it back on the search line to edit — it does not search.On this page
Every pattern you have searched for, newest first. <CR> loads the one you pick into the / line without searching — adjust it, then <CR>.
Open it with:
q/orq?in Normal mode, or:history searches, or:picker search-history.
If the search line is already open, the picker starts filtered by the pattern you had typed.
