When you have several items in your search history that start with the same string, say "xx", then typing ^W xx <Tab> will show as first completion the string that was used the furthest back in time. This is 'illogical'. If the user remembers having searched before for something starting with "xx", he or she probably wants the string that was searched for most recently, or if not that one, then the one before, and so on.

So I think the tabbing should do a backward search.
