(FYI, that link is to a side post that is not representative of the thread's
proposal.)
FWIW, as the person who proposed this feature, here is the history:
I mentioned this possibility in help-gnu-emacs on 2006-07-21:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2006-07/msg00370.html
Andreas Roehler contributed some ideas in that thread.
I added the feature to my isearch+.el code on 2006-07-29.
I proposed the feature to emacs-devel on 2007-07-10:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-07/msg00490.html
The bottom line was Richard's decision:
"I don't think it is needed. You can type C-@ C-r C-r to put
the region around the match that was just found."
If you want to try it, to see what you think:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/isearch%2b.el
`C-SPC' during isearch toggles the effect of the option
`isearchp-set-region-flag', which sets the default behavior.
