Here's the patch again, together with a manual change (to search.texi)
and a NEWS entry, as requested by RMS.

making the decision in a heuristic way. This new job is done by the
command `isearch-yank-word-or-char'. To restore the old behavior,
bind C-w to `isearch-yank-word' in `isearch-mode-map'.
