How to find this yourself:
M-x customize-apropos-faces RET isearch RET
You will see these matches:
Isearch face: (sample) [Show Face]
State: HIDDEN, invoke "Show" in the previous line to show.
Face for highlighting Isearch matches.
Isearch Fail face: (sample) [Show Face]
State: HIDDEN, invoke "Show" in the previous line to show.
Face for highlighting failed part in Isearch echo-area message.
Isearch Lazy Highlight Face:(sample) [Show Face]
State: HIDDEN, invoke "Show" in the previous line to show.
isearch-lazy-highlight-face is an alias for the face `lazy-highlight'. [More]
You can customize any of these from the same buffer (it is a Customize buffer).
Start by clicking `[Show Face]' (or the small triangle in Emacs 24+).
If you generally use the default Emacs settings, and you think the default
appearance for face `isearch' should be changed, file an enhancement request for
that using `M-x report-emacs-bug'.
