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

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.
