I agree that it's better to bind C-h to isearch-mode-help by default.
But is it possible to unbind it in .emacs for those users who want
to get the top-level help with C-h? In older versions of isearch.el
there was such a comment:
;; You can reenable global keys by binding them locally to nil.
;; For the help char this doesnt work quite as expected because
;; isearch-mode is not a major mode. Also the echo area is not

;; help-command is on C-h. But here is how it would be done:
;; (define-key map "\C-h" nil)
Perhaps this comment should be restored in isearch.el after uncommenting
the line with C-h binding.
And then what about [f1] and [help] keys?
