since version 1.43 the ctrl+r r keyboard shortcut has stopped working for powershell history searches. Is there another way to search in recently used commands?

Also see https://stackoverflow.com/a/70900927/836330 for how to bring up a QuickPick panel with the recent terminal commands (powershell is supported).

and

https://stackoverflow.com/a/62203544/836330 or https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_70.md#run-recent-command-as-a-replacement-for-reverse-search

I can't reproduce your issue. But you could try this keybinding in the meantime:

{
 "key": "alt+r",
 "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
 "args": { "text": "\u0012" }
},

That sends a Ctrl+R to the terminal. Focus can be anywhere. That should trigger the reverse search of previous terminal commands. Does it do that for you?

Thank you, Mark. That solved my problem. I just customized it a little bit { "key": "ctrl+r", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", "args": { "text": "\u0012" }, "when": "terminalFocus" },
