call-interactively 'query-replace and 'isearch-forward

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List, 

I call-interactively 'query-replace and 'isearch-forward in a program,
and the former works as expected (ask me for input), the latter not
(just make the window blink). 

Trying the same calls in *scratch* buffer shows only a tiny difference:

,------------------------------------
| (call-interactively 'query-replace)
`------------------------------------

asks for input and moves point to mini-buffer, while 

,--------------------------------------
| (call-interactively 'isearch-forward)
`--------------------------------------

returns t, asks for input (I-search: ) - but leaves point in the
scratch-buffer behind the returned t. 

Is there a known problem with calling 'isearch-forward' interactively?
How can I make that work?
