filename:.history finds all files with history in the filename

The filename:.history test matches all files with "history" anywhere in the filename which generates a large number of false positives.

This is due to github's removal of special characters in search queries. Personally, I feel this dork should be removed due to the fact that .history files are not intrinsically bad. Thoughts, @techgaun?

EDIT: If not, then we should at least change it to extension:history or something similar.
