Bof. It's been rebaptized a mode, but a rose by any other name... See my other mail about its unconventional minor-modeness[*]. To me, the help you want when using isearch is precisely that given by isearch-mode-help. This is what C-h should give you. [* Isearch is peculiar in several ways (which doesn't make it bad), starting with the fact that it uses the echo area, even though users can get the impression that it uses the minibuffer. (Yes, it uses the minibuffer for search-string editing and completion, but not to read incremental search-string input.)]
