The one I > mentioned is builtin and doesn't need any autoloads. Ah! But this is misleading: --- history-beginning-search-backward Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the current line up to the cursor. history-search-backward Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the first word in the buffer. --- So both start from the beginning, so what's the 'beginning' in the former supposed to differentiate? Wouldn't history-cur-search-backward make more sense? Or even better: --- history-search-backward Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the current line up to the cursor. history-word-search-backward Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the first word in the buffer. --- Note: I'm only objecting to the misleading names. -- Felipe Contreras
