i. The non-incremental history searches now leave the current history offset

That makes history-search-backward significantly less useful, because
you can no longer use yank-last-arg to copy arguments from the preceding
line.

It makes previous-history, next-history, and operate-and-get-next work as
they do with incremental searches, which is more in line with user
expectations.
