I have put the following key bindings in my .emacs file.

  (global-set-key "\e[228z"  ' search-forward) ; f5

  (global-set-key "\e[229z"  ' search-backward) ;f6 


However, if I want to search for the same string again, pressing
F5 doesn't produce whatever string was searched before in the mini-
buffer.

My question is how do I make my fuction key search repetitively search
for the search the same string?


 Thank you very much in advance.
