Most of those special meanings are not useful for me, but there were some that I used to type often to exit the search. Now that no longer works." I may have misunderstood what you meant, but for me "control characters" meant C-a ... C-z. C-\ and C-^ were bound in Emacs 20, and have the same meaning in isearch as in global-map, but specialized for isearch. Discussing all M- and C-M- bindings in detail would be much longer, but again most of these bindings are not recent. Those you mention above: M-n and M-p were bound in Emacs 19. M-% and C-M-% were bound in Emacs 22, and have the same meaning in isearch as in global-map, but specialized for isearch. M-s was bound in Emacs 23, and has the meaning in isearch as in global-map, but specialized for isearch. C-M-i was bound in Emacs 19. C-M-d C-M-y C-M-z were bound in Emacs 27, but have no meaning in global-map.
