Try <Ctrl>-r. This will start a reverse incremental search through
the history.

M-TAB, ie Esc, then Tab or Alt Tab

Or you can use Ctrl-R to reverse search the history.
Or (supposing you are somewhere deep in history, you can search back
(ie. forward) by M-- C-R, ie. Esc, -, Ctrl-R or Alt--, Ctrl-R
