That is exactly beneficial and way more easier. I did not in first
place even understand here the problem as it was all in my fingers
without thinking.

C-s C-y is what is logical deriving from basic C-y command.

C-s C-y M-y is what is logical to find some previous searches.

And if using C-s M-y directly that means user wish to select something
from the kill ring. Logical.
