CTRL+S is great, but you cannot paste to it!

What if I have a big long search string (may one of those long URLs with
lots of HTTP Get parameters) and I want to search for the next occurance of
it, how do I?

ESC-x search-forward  <return>

is kinda tedious!

What about command recall, is there a way to recal more than one prevous
search string?
      Thanks,
           Sieg
