Making such a feature useful, and not intolerable, in the context of Emacs is not a simple matter. I think I'd rather turn off any feature that makes some printing characters special in isearch. Please let's not think about this now. If you'd like to work on new features for after the release, how about implementing some of the features listed in etc/TODO?
