bind '"\ez": forward-search-history'

...maps forward-search-history to Escape Z.

You can confirm that the binding is absent or present by running:

bind -q | grep z

before and after the binding command, respectively.

Note that incremental searches don't wrap the command history, so
forward-search-history is only useful after the history search "cursor"
(not the command-line cursor) is far enough back to match something.
One generally gets it there with reverse-search-history (C-s) first.
