Clearly I am missing some setting. On zsh on macOS and I tried what you just said and it doesn't work like this

FWIW I'm also on macos 15.7.9, zsh 5.9, oh-my-zsh - and I do get this behavior (TIL).

type eg "rg" then up or down arrow, and the history shown is filtered by that rg prefix.

I was missing it too. Google says it's a builtin zsh feature but mac doesn't turn it on by default, so you add these to `~/.zshrc`

    bindkey '^[[A' history-search-backward
    bindkey '^[[B' history-search-forward
So far it works. Thank you diath.
