Do you mean M-r? Two reasons:

1. It's not as convenient for me as the bash's one shows what it found
   as I type, and with emacs' one I have to modify regexp on the next
   run.

2. I couldn't find a way to search the whole bash history. When I type
   some expression that I know is in ~/.bash_history, emacs says "Not
   found".

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
