I think we should at least describe in the doc string what is described in "Basic Isearch", which would mean adding isearch-delete-char. Other than that, I'm okay with this text. > I remember reading somewhere a suggestion for adding a toolbar (and > (or) a dedicated menu) for use during isearch-mode, to help the > discoverability of these myriad keybindings. That could be a good > alternative to listing verbosely every binding in the docstring. I agree, but we should make sure clicking the menu won't exit Isearch. Thanks.
