In next-matching-history-element, pressing Ret to use the default
before any regexp has ever been given produces an unhelpful error
message. Eg. with -q -no-site-file,
C-x C-f M-s Ret
=> Wrong type argument: consp, nil
I see previous-matching-history-element recently got that tweaked
(1995-05-26). Perhaps next should be the same.

* simple.el (next-matching-history-element): Same `interactive' form
as previous-matching-history-element, for better error if history is
empty, and to make default available with M-n.

Thanks. I'll install that.

This indeed fixes the long-standing problem in `next-matching-history-element'
(I think the reason it was not fixed for a long time is that everyone
uses M-r, not M-s which finds nothing from the initial history position),
but I have a change I implemented three months ago that will depreciate
`previous-matching-history-element' (and `next-matching-history-element').
The change I propose is to use isearch to search the minibuffer history.
This way Emacs will provide an incremental search in the history in
the same way as shells using readline already provide.
The following patch sets the value of `isearch-search-fun-function' in
the minibuffer to a function similar to `Info-isearch-search' used to
search through Info multiple nodes.
This also requires three fixes in isearch.el to work better
in the case when isearch-search-fun-function is specified
and when isearch is used in the minibuffer.
