In all other cases, typing something "partially" gives us a good C-h behavior, like when typing C-x v C-h or something. I don't think it is too hard to type to exit an isearch if you really want the top-level help. And we don't have a way to get at isearch-mode-help otherwise: it is not in our isearch-mode-map. I think this is a mistake. If the function were of no use, we would not need it. --=20 David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
