What defines a "hit" here? Your "history" command isn't "searching"
AT ALL. Rather it's your series of "grep" commands that are doing
the searching. There's no way an argument to the "history" command
can tell it how many times "grep" of its output is going to succeed.
So it sounds like what you really want is
eval history -r -n -$HISTSIZE $sstring | head $nnumber
That is, dump the entire history, grep it, and then show the most
recent few events that match the greps.
