Does anyone have a good solution for handling bash history?

What (I think) I want:
- History search for each shell searches the history of that shell first, then all other shells' history.
- I don't want to lose history from windows opened in tmux or when I'm running a bunch of shells in parallel.

What I don't care about:
- Syncing history
- Fuzzy search

What I don't want:
- Mandatory full-screen history search

I've tried `atuin` so far, and I don't like it. I think I can only use it with the full screen history search and somehow despite the fact that it's automatically merging commands from all shells, it still loses commands, sometimes *from the shell I'm currently using*.

Note: I will eventually try `fish` or `zsh`, but my schedule and to-do list don't currently permit me to rework all my [dotfiles](github.com/pganssle/dotfiles) to work with a new shell.
