Re: `isearch-allow-scroll' - a misnomer and a bad design

[Richard Stallman]

It is not an issue of how many "ways to exit isearch" there are.  It
is an issue of how many commands you need to remember WON'T exit the
search.  The idea of isearch is that control characters exit, except
for a short list of a few.  But that list has been growing.
