Summary
Ctrl+R to search backwards in history from the address bar

This is a feature request inspired by Bash/Terminal.app. While running Terminal.app, the command history can be searched interactively by pressing Ctrl+R. After entering a few characters from a command, the most recently executed match is shown, ready for execution. Pressing Ctrl+R again will cycle backwards in history. When implementing this feature in Safari, page titles and urls could be used as metadata. This would make it much easier to find history items when the time of last access is unknown, without having to introduce a "Search History" menu item.

The address bar is a feature of the Safari browser, not the WebKit engine. The appropriate place for Safari bugs and feature requests is <
