Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Most shells currently only support searching through your history by the command. This is frustrating because I can't search by the output, the directory, timestamp, the box, or any other metadata. Additionally, the default history file is too small, I often try to search for commands that I ran a few months ago only to find they were flushed from my history.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to be able to have a UI to infinitely search my terminal history. To start, I'd like to be able to search by:

  • Command
  • Output
  • Timestamp
  • Exit code
  • Directory
  • Box (e.g a specific remote box or a set of remote boxes)

Additional context
Once I find a command that matches my search result, I'd like to be able to find commands that I ran before and after in that specific session where the command was executed. Technically, we could do this by indexing Blocks in a local sqllite database or send them to our server and index them in the cloud.

There may be some concepts that can be incorporated from Ranger.
A discord comment (feature-requests: 07/14/2021) mentioned elvish shell and their ranger based built in file manager.

"I mean that just as one can search command history, storing and searching output history would be something that maybe is lacking in other apps. Wouldn’t such be nice to be able to view weeks or more of output and search?"
