The solution is to press #, type the partial match of the wanted command and complete by pressing tab.

To anyone visiting in May 2018 and beyond, Ctrl + R does work in Powershell now

True for Powershell in Windows 10, in Windows 7 it does not work. And when using Windows PowerShell ISE Ctrl+R opens a new script editing window. Do you know how to do it there? – Michael S. May 24 '18 at 13:49
