I also use ctrl R <keyword> at the bash prompt but that only gives me the most recent match.

Are you sure, I'm using BASH on Kubuntu and I get previous matches by repeated use of ctrl+R.
Actually inspired by a previous post here I made a script "hs" that searches archived history files and shows me all past match lines. Before that I did what you do now.
