ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 18

I have this in my PS profile:

 function hist { 
  $find = $args; 
  Write-Host "Finding in full history using {`$_ -like `"*$find*`"}"; 
  Get-Content (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath | ? {$_ -like "*$find*"} | Get-Unique | more 
}

ANSWER 2

Score 16

The solution commented by "charles ross" is what I was looking for:

Get-Content (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath | more

ANSWER 3

Score 0

These commands are also stored in a text file. You can find the location of this file by executing:

(Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath

The keyword search provided above is helpful as well.

	function hist {
	$find = $args;
	Write-Host "Finding in full history using {`$_ -like `"$find`"}";
	Get-Content (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath \| ? {$_ -like "$find"} \| Get-Unique \| more
	}
