bash reverse search broke

WTH happened to my reverse search (Ctrl-R). No sooner than I write that sentence than it starts working.

Tried to reverse search ping… because I’m lazy.

Returned results were totally nonsense, and it didn’t find it!

Part of my .bash_history
find . -iname “speed
ping google.com
