Documentation

If non-nil, Isearch searches in Eshell input history.

If t, usual Isearch keys like C-s (isearch-forward) in Eshell search only in the input history. If dwim, Isearch commands search in the input history when point is at the command line after the last prompt. The value nil (the default) means to search in the current Eshell buffer.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 31.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 31.1.
