I'd consider it neither a bug nor a feature. Scroll Lock mode is simply
not aware of Isearch mode and it probably doesn't need to be because a
search is not an explicit scrolling command.
For me the current behavior is fine, but if other people think it would
be a good idea for Scroll Lock mode to center search results, I would
not mind adding an option for it.
The only problem is that I could not find an appropriate hook in Isearch
mode which provides a means to recenter the view. One could perhaps
abuse `isearch-message-function' for that but I don't consider this a
good idea. Another bad idea would be to advise `isearch-update' like
this:
(defadvice isearch-update (after scroll-lock-isearch-update activate)
"Recenter view after `isearch-update'."
(recenter '(4)))
