is there a package that enables minibuffer completion for ivy,
something like zsh history navigation?

for example i have a history entry that contains: defun and it is
buried somewhere in minibuffer history, so when i type for example def
and navigate the history, all history entries that begin with def
should be the one to be navigated

Already supported in ivy out the the box? C-r usually invokes ivy-
reverse-I-search?

See [Icicles - History
Enhancements](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-
_History_Enhancements). Here are 3 of the ways you can complete
against history elements:

* `M-o` in the minibuffer lets you use completion to insert any number
of history elements in the minibuffer.

* `M-pause` in the minibuffer restricts the current set of completion
candidates to those you've used previously.

* `M-h` in the minibuffer matches your current input against the
minibuffer history directly.

In Helm it is also ootb. At least for some Helm packages.
