See the doc-string of `C-s' (C-h k C-s) or the manual:
,----[ (info "(emacs)Incremental Search") ]
| The character `M-y' copies text from the kill ring into the search
| string. It uses the same text that `C-y' as a command would yank.
| `Mouse-2' in the echo area does the same. *Note Yanking::.

Bye, Reiner.

Hi,
Copy to the kill ring with M-w, perform a search with C-s, and copy the
previous
argument from the kill ring with M-y, not C-y. This worked on Emacs
21.2.1 on Windows
and 21.1.1 under solaris. Don'y ask me why C-y doesn't work, I don't know.

Because C-y is bound to isearch-yank-line in
isearch-mode-map
Keymap for `isearch-mode'.
