# Searching for commands with up/down arrow is really handy.  The
# option "moves to end" is useful if you want the cursor at the end
# of the line while cycling through history like it does w/o searching,
# without that option, the cursor will remain at the position it was
# when you used up arrow, which can be useful if you forget the exact
# string you started the search on.
