Limit of psql_history

I can't find (using ctrl-r within psql and less ~/.psql_history) a particular query that I executed a couple months back. I also recently upgraded from 9.3 to 9.5 so I'm not sure if there is a limit on psql_history or if it was removed on the upgrade.

Is there a limit on the size of psql_history and, if so, how could I go about increasing it?

Thanks in advance!!

There's a psql variable that sets the number of commands to save in the history:

postgres=# \set HISTSIZE 100
postgres=# \echo :HISTSIZE
100
postgres=#

From the documentation:


HISTSIZE - The number of commands to store in the command history. The
default value is 500

You can set it in your ~/.psqlrc.
