I think a good binding for C-h in isearch-mode would be the following:
(define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-h" help-map)
I gives what Richard wants since it uses the global definition of C-h,
and still it is intuitive to use just like its global definition when
a minor mode is active:
C-h m describes the isearch mode among other minor modes,
C-h b displays all isearch keybindings at the beginning of a list of all
global keybindings (since it lists keys of minor modes first),
C-h k describes a key of isearch-mode that is natural to expect
when C-h k is typed when isearch mode is active, so `C-h k C-w'
will display:
C-w runs the command isearch-yank-word-or-char, which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in `isearch.el'.
(isearch-yank-word-or-char)
Pull next character or word from buffer into search string.
