Actually the following might be a little better. Generally you don't
want to clobber the mark, but this would allow you to return to the
current point after the search with `C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC'.
(defadvice isearch-forward (before beginning-of-buffer activate)
"Move point to the beginning of the buffer; leave mark at previous
position."
(beginning-of-buffer))
