This works pretty well in bash-4.2; versions before that, not so much.
You might want to consider upgrading; bash-3.2 patch 25 was released almost
five years ago.

Hi Chet,

i just tried with bash version 4.2, GNU bash, version 4.2.0(1)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

i still doesn't work, i tested the following. ,b is mapped for reverse search.

$ git one

$ git two

$,b

$(reverse-i-search)`':git

$(reverse-i-search)`':git two

$(reverse-i-search)`':git two # {press ,b} here, it wont move to git one, it just get's struck there

apparently it is working for you, am i doing something wrong ?
