I just want the key binding to be the same as I use outside of isearch.
There were no global binding for `occur' so in that case I thought `M-s
o' was good, but in this case I would really prefer the same binding
inside isearch. My rather cryptic patch to hi-lock.el provided that -
you are very welcome to make it better if you want.

I am not sure I understand this. If highlight-regexp is bound to `C-x w
h' and I type that at the isearch prompt would that start that
highlight-regexp with the current isearch regexp as the default regexp
at the prompt?

Agree.
