This is not the reuse of the current search string which is what you
describe but a feature where an older, previous search string from a
past search gets reinstated:
% echo one
% echo two
% ^Recho^J
% echo three
% ^R^R
bck-i-search: echo_
When the current search string is empty, invoking either of
history-incremental-search-for/back-ward will reinstate an older search.
With my change, a direction change suppresses this.
