For searching in the _current_ minibuffer text? How long are such text?

I can use them, of course, but as you've said, they are not
incremental. Precisely, as I pointed out, I'd like to adjust C-M-s to
be the incremental version of M-s.

Well, think of the advantages and drawbacks. IMHO, my proposal would
make the Isearch commands (in the minibuffer):
* More useful: what you want is to go straight to the history.
* Clearer: The prompt states clearly that you are searching the in
history, and nowhere else.
* Consistent with M-s and M-r.
