Description

The Search view already supports using Up/Down arrows to navigate through search history.

It would be useful if, when the input is not empty, Up/Down only cycled through history entries starting with the current input, similar to Zsh's prefix history search. When the input is empty, the existing behavior could remain unchanged.

If possible, I'd be happy to work on this.
