Research direction

Start by locating Warp's Ctrl-R backward history search entry point and reproduce the issue with long commands sharing identical prefixes. Done means the search view shows enough of each full history command to distinguish and select the intended command.

Ctrl-R backwards history search should show full history commands, not just the first few characters

I use ctrl-R backwards history search with long commands that have identical prefixes. I'm unable to find the specific command I want without trying multiple different commands.
