Just to make sure: Did you read my reply to Juri here?
Like you, I said that there's nothing special about
isearch here.

The point is _not_ to remove/prevent the Isearch menu.

And the point is especially not for any given user
to have to do that, and especially not by fiddling
with keymaps.

The point is for Emacs to find a good solution.  I
mentioned the Dired solution, which has long existed,
and which I'm guessing could make sense for Isearch:
When the Isearch menu is shown, consider temporary
removal of another menu (or two) a menu that's not
so useful during Isearch.

That lets you use the Isearch menu without the
annoyance.  And yes, whether to do such removal
(and which menu(s) to remove temporarily) could be
user-configurable with an option.
