OK, at least I will use `dired-filename' for Dired filename Isearch.

Such a prefix already exists in Isearch, so we could use `M-s f' to
toggle filename-only Isearch.

As for 3-state regexp/word toggles, I currently have no idea for a
good key: "r" means "regexp" and "w" means "word", but I don't see
what a key would be common for them.
