Actually, searching in the M-x history is already implemented.
This patch allows searching thru all commands available via M-x,
i.e. it's like using isearch in the *Completions* buffer like
M-x TAB <PgUp> C-s command
with without opening the *Completions* buffer, with just
M-x C-s command
to search commands available with M-x M-n M-n M-n ...
The problem why this patch is not installed is the need to decide
in what order to sort these commands. The patch sorts alphabetically,
but maybe better to sort by command usage frequency, or somesuch.
