With the default setting, when you do C-s SOMETHING RET, a command
(isearch-resume "SOMETHING" nil nil t "SOMETHING" (quote t))
is added to the command history.
IMO, this is very annoying.
C-s C-s already resumes the last isearch, and
C-s M-p M-p resumes earlier isearches.
So there's no reason to clutter C-x ESC ESC with this.
Setting isearch-resume-enabled to nil avoid cluttering the command
history with those (superfluous) isearch-resume commands.
I would recommend using isearch-resume-enabled = nil the default.

The name is bizarre though; how about something more obvious like
`isearch-resume-in-command-history' or whatever?

That would be better, yes.

I guess I agree. I see Gerd added that feature in 2000; I am not
sure why. I would not mind turning it off by default.

I have renamed it to isearch-resume-in-command-history for clarity,
and changed the default to nil. Updated NEWS and mini.texi.
