Doesn't ^K do what you suggest ?

seach/replace history patch always has a blank string at the start of the
history list internal to nano.  For search you get the next most recent
search string as default, blank being one newer (one down arrow). You get
the blank string for replace - confused ?  Hard to write easy to use.
