[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I like to bind comint-previous-matching-input-from-input to M-p,
however the current behavior is to find the first match and move the
point to the end of the line.

The point should not be moved so that I can press M-p again to find
the next match.

This is how this command works in zsh and bash.

Patch included.

Looks reasonable.  I've committed your patch, thanks.
