C-s C-s immediately searches for the latest entry in the ring.  If C-s 
M-p did that too, things would be...weird.  At least to me.  I wouldn't 
really mind that much if M-p brings back the latest entry but _doesn't_ 
perform the actual search, but it just feels kind of unnecessary since 
if you wanted to search for that you could just C-s C-s to begin with.
