} How might I go about implementing this?  My zsh knowledge is not too

I think perhaps you just want the history-search-end widget which is
included in the zsh distribution?

"man zshcontrib" or "info zsh" and search for history-search-end:

    This function implements the widgets [which] work by first calling
    the corresponding builtin widget and then moving the cursor to the
    end of the line. The original cursor position is remembered and
    restored before calling the builtin widget a second time, so that
    the same search is repeated to look farther through the history.
