The following behaviour is proposed, and, as far as I
remember, no one opposed to it.

When you type "o", isearch searches for "o" even if "o" is
not yet fixed.  Then when you type, for instance, "'", "ó"
is searched for from the first search position, and move
point to the found position regardless of that position
being before or after the previously found "o".  So, isearch
sometimes moves point back and forward.

But, for the moment, no one has worked on implementing it.
