The
CommandLineFu.com is a great web site to exchange knowledge about shell usage and command line magics. But if that is about command line will be to have a command line interface to access this knowledge.
The
clfu-seach is the
usable proof of concept to think seriously on this idea.
Usage
clfu-seach <search words>
$ clfu-seach history uniq
Searching...
history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
List of commands you use most often
history|awk '{print $2}'|awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -r
