1. I assume you're asking about interactive use of Isearch (even though you
asked about `search-forward').
See `isearch-mode-end-hook' and variable `isearch-other-end'. The latter is the
position you want to go to. The former gives you a way to go there:
(defun foo () (goto-char isearch-other-end))
(add-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook 'foo)
2. If you really meant `search-forward' and you are using this in Lisp code,
then after calling `search-forward' just (goto-char (match-beginning 0)).
3. If what you really want is to select the search hit, then see library
`isearch+.el' - option `isearchp-set-region-flag' determines this behavior. You
can use `C-SPC' during Isearch to toggle the behavior.
