How can I search the command history in cygwin?
I don't want to keep pressing the arrow keys to execute a command from console command history.

I think one of the easiest way is to pipeline it with less and press search character ("/") and then type the command you wanna find.
history | less
and then
/text to find
to find the desired command
Another way
is to append the stdout form history command to a file: history > /cygdrive/path/file.txt
and then search in the document.
