                          I recently switched to zsh (finally) and am loving it! So far one thing that I am missing is Ctrl+R to do incremental history search.   
I have the history set up properly
    
    HISTSIZE=10000
    SAVEHIST=10000
    HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history

and I used vi key bindings
    
    bindkey -v

But Ctrl+R does not work. It removes the line above the current line, which is not the behavior it should have in vim either.  

Any suggestions?
