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. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
