[erlang-questions] Ctrl+R bug in erl?

[Gerhard Lazu]

OTP v21.3.5 on macOS Mojave 10.14.4 works as expected for me:

Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.3.4] [source] [64-bit] [smp:20:20] [ds:20:20:10]
[async-threads:1] [hipe] [dtrace]

Eshell V10.3.4  (abort with ^G)
1> 42+42.
84
(search)`': 42+42.
2> 42+42.
84

Have you tried a different machine?
