zsh-history-substring-search vs HSTR
HSTR shows an interactive suggest box for searching and managing history in both Bash and Zsh, though it needs shell configuration to bind it to a key.

hishtory records directory, exit status and duration for each command and syncs history across machines with end-to-end encryption, relying on a backend service unless self-hosted.
zsh-history-substring-search vs fzf
fzf's shell integration gives fuzzy command history search in several shells, not only Zsh, and its preview windows and key bindings can be scripted further.
zsh-history-substring-search vs Atuin
Atuin replaces history search with filtering by directory, session and exit status, works on Windows, macOS and Linux, and adds optional encrypted sync that needs a server.
