I may be spliting hairs here, but FWIW the behaviour he described
looks like 'history-search-backward, and not like
'reverse-search-history (which is normally bound to C-r).

AFAICT the main difference being that  reverse-search-history is
incremental (first hit C-r, and then type), and
history-search-backward is non-incremental (first type, and then
search).

I do agree that simply using C-r is a much simpler way to accomplish
backward-search, since it is set by default.
