Visual Studio Code - how to view previous searches?

I came from Sublime to Visual Studio Code and I'm looking for the history of searches in the Visual Code , what was in the Sublime with -

Ctrl+Shift+F

enter image description here

and then just press ↕ to navigate between previous/next search.

How could I get the same functionality on Visual Studio Code on its search text field ?

enter image description here

My current Version is 1.5.2

Up: Shows the previous term in history

Down: Shows the next term in history

You can customize the keybinding to your liking using history.showPrevious and history.showNext

definitely it should be accessible by UI. Although the minimalistic UI is the best of VSC

you can navigate search recent history by Alt+up/donw

It's Up and Down in the search edit box. It used to be that you had to use alt, but later they added just the arrow keys by themselves. The keyboard shortcut is customizable under history.showPrevious and history.showNext

There is currently no search history in Visual Studio Code. But it's part of the September milestones as you can see here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/5508 So the feature will probably be shipped in October 2016.
