I had trouble with this one, too, if I'm reading what you're saying
right. See below for a possible answer to it, one I never bothered to
look into.

info emacs

There's a section about key bindings. Also, with the exception of
searching, everything I put above is located in the menus for the
version I'm using, the version I last used, the version I used years
ago and every version in-between. I discovered searching by accident
because I've never read the info page. There may be a key sequence for
repeating the search, or a means to add it. And there may already be a
solution to all of the things you've mentioned that I don't know what
you mean as well.
