I'll have a deeper look why I have this behavior in isearch.

For text buffers, I would just disable the minor mode locally.
The way I edit text is way less structured than code and much more chaotic.

Dumb is better for me in this case.

electric-pair not pairing in text mode is less expected than just
turning it off. With the same logic, if electric-pair is on, I would
expect it to pair by default even in text.
