That works around the problem but doesn't fix it.  You can specify
`same-window' in special-display-regexp, for example.  Or you could
encounter similar problems by setting display-buffer-function, etc...
A real fix is to make sure we return to the proper window and buffer
when we get back to the main search loop.

This doesn't look right.  You probably just want to use

       (define-key map [t] 'isearch-other-control-char)

instead.
