Yes.
Isearch ignores text with `invisible' text properties and hidden
overlays according to `buffer-invisibility-spec'.
Info-search ignores Info files headers, header lines and Tag Table
nodes.
None of which apply to `*Note'.

What I meant with the parenthetical remark is: If Isearch starts
ignoring things like `*Note', then people could not safely rely on it
anymore, because they would always have to ask themselves: "What
_other_ stuff does search in Emacs ignore?". There could always be
_some_ reason why Isearch decided that they were actually not
interested in finding what they were trying to find and that showing
them the match would only "inconvenience" them.
Sincerely,
Luc.
