convenience

What about to have analog with

;;      bindings.el
;; ...
;;     (define-key map [down]  'next-history-element)
;;     (define-key map [up]    'previous-history-element)       

the already in isearch.el keyed commands

    (define-key map "\M-n" 'isearch-ring-advance)
    (define-key map "\M-p" 'isearch-ring-retreat)

also assigned as

    (define-key map [up]    'isearch-ring-advance)          
    (define-key map [down]  'isearch-ring-retreat)

At least it works here.

[up] and [down] are convenient key to exit isearch mode,
just like C-n and C-p can exit isearch mode now.

Sorry for jumping in in this thread this late, but why do we need so
many ways to end isearch-mode? I use C-g myself even though I try to
teach myself to use RET instead, which seems to be "nicer".

If [up] and [down] can be bound to more useful things, why not do that?

Again, I did not follow this discussion so if you think it seems I
don't know what I am talking about, please just ignore me... :)

[up] and [down] should always do the same as C-p and C-n, resp.

The arrow keys ought to exit from search.

Because it is convenient.

I will not change this, so please let's not spend time arguing about it.
