Why, one could miss important stuff if one doesn't realize he is carrying around an appended blank in his search string! Perhaps do something with color, or a " $" appearing, or turn on show-trailing-whitespace in the minibuffer by default. (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t in .emacs isn't good enough.)
