Install Linux Mint Cinnamon's polished Ctrl+R/"reverse-i-search" on Ubuntu?

In Mint, when you hit Ctrl+R in any terminal, you get a pretty nice UI for the reverse-i-search.

(To clarify - I'm referring to the extra polish provided in Mint - the UI is a step above the basic history search that I'm used to in Ubuntu and other distros)

I'd like this on my Ubuntu boxes.

I'm not sure if it's a Mint feature or a Cinnamon feature, or some third party tool that can be installed.

Googling for it has returned nothing... is there a way to install this feature on Ubuntu?

I've found something similar for Bash / Zsh: hstr;

Once installed, hitting CTRL+R should bring up this GUI:

To install it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ultradvorka/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install hh

I'm unable to test it personally as I'm on Wily and there are no packages for Wily on the repository yet, however there are packages available for Precise up to Vidid.
