Vim regex search history not working as expected

When using the regex search in Vim, I always had the option to press the up and down arrows to cycle through all of the recent searches I made on that particular file. For some reason, now when I press the up arrow, I see the letter A, and the letter B for when I press down. I haven't changed my .vimrc or anything. Is there some option that I may have accidentally toggled on that would be causing this?

Make sure compatible is not set.

set nocomaptible

Also make sure your terminal settings are correct. (When you use the arrow keys in normal mode, do they work, or do you get weird behavior?)
