Or C-y to search for text between point and end of line, instead of taking
words one by one. Repeating C-y takes one more line at a time.

Or, kill or save the text to the kill ring and yank it for search with M-y
(i.e., after having pressed C-s).

Once you defined some text to search for, you can edit it, moving point to the
minibuffer with M-e.

See here: *info* (emacs)Isearch Yank (chapter 20.1.6)

Even more if you see the documentation of `isearch-forward'.
