Search in command history

Hi Guys,
This one is, seemingly, a very simple question.

I am on HPUX1572. The shell used is ksh.

I used to locate a command using esc-K '/' followed by a few letters of the command.

I tried to search my command history using ESC-K, it works fine. But the old trick of esp+K '/' doesnt work anymore in my session. I wonder what setting have been altered.

The following have been included in my .profile.

export HISTFILE=$HOME/.sh_history
export HISTSIZE=8192
set -o vi
EDITOR=vi

Kindly let me know which other variable needs to be set for the old action to work again.

Thanks.
