Maybe I got something wrong, but I thought we're discussing commands
that were similar `next-matching-history-element' and
`previous-matching-history-element' (bound to M-s and M-r).
The ones I thought we're referring to would match an element based on a
given prefix (akin to comint-previous-matching-input-from-input and
friends).
IMO, it would make sense to have a symmetric behaviour in comint mode
and the minibuffer. Some will argue that I can just type "^" right
after I call M-r/s in the minibuffer. Well...
In that vein, I suggested C-c M-r/s for the hypothetical
`previous-matching-history-element-from-input' and
`next-matching-history-element-from-input'.
