So, `up-line-or-search' is indeed active already. Isn't this what you
asked for? From the manual:

     up-line-or-search
          Move up a line in the  buffer, or if already at the top
          line,  search  backward  in  the  history  for  a  line
          beginning with the first word in the buffer.

          If  called from  a  function by  the  zle command  with
          arguments, the  first argument  is taken as  the string
          for which to search, rather  than the first word in the
          buffer.


Regards, Frank
