"""
C-s runs the command isearch-forward
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `isearch.el'.

Do incremental search forward.
With a prefix argument, do an incremental regular expression search instead.

As you type characters, they add to the search string and are found.
The following non-printing keys are bound in `isearch-mode-map'.
"""

And isearch-mode-map contains this:

       (19 . isearch-repeat-forward)

(19 is C-s.) So you need to rebind that too.

I tried the Vista speech recognition by running the tutorial. I was 
amazed, it was awesome, recognised every word I said. Then I said the 
wrong word ... and it typed the right one. It was actually just 
detecting a sound and printing the expected word! -- pbhj on /.
