History search always starts from the end of the list, so you should start with a reverse search using <kbd>Ctrl+r</kbd>.

The forward search is used when you go too far in your reverse search, similar to how you start with <kbd>UpArrow</kbd> but when you go too far, you use <kbd>DownArrow</kbd>.

PSReadLine emulates GNU readline which does not wrap. I think this is a good thing as it can be hard to know when you’ve wrapped. Editors naturally provide a nice visual cue that you’ve wrapped (either implicit in the context, or explicit in the current line number in the status bar). PSReadLine could provide something similar but does not, so I would not expect wrapping to be popular.
