The fuzzy search ui bound to up is more convenient than history | grep ...

I just hava a zsh binding for using fzf to doing a fuzzy search of my history. The fzf package actually includes the implementation of the zsh "widget".

That's probably essentially the same thing, atuin being sqlite based is possibly faster but its not likely to matter until you reach a very very large history.

The main difference otherwise is that Atuin stores much more data + syncs it

We shelled out to fzf in the very early days, but found the initial indexing to be a bit slower + add latency vs SQLite
