That's just what `C-g' does today. It removes the failed (mismatch) portion and
lets you continue to search. And that includes letting you type more characters
at the end of the search string. Nothing new there.
What I proposed is not about that - it's about editing chars in the middle of
the search string, keeping some or all of the chars that failed to match. See
the example I gave.
