M-e lets you manipulate the search string in a regular minibuffer.
In Emacs 22 (CVS) you can drop into query-replace directly:
*** M-% typed in isearch mode invokes `query-replace' or
`query-replace-regexp' (depending on search mode) with the current
search string used as the string to replace.
(from etc/NEWS)
(Setting `query-replace-interactive' to a non-nil value makes
query-replace always use the last search string.)
