Except for the prefix arg handling (creeping featurism IMO :-),
you can achieve the same effect by suitable bindings in
isearch-mode-map, e.g.

(define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-l" 'recenter)
(define-key isearch-mode-map [prior] 'scroll-down)
(define-key isearch-mode-map [next] 'scroll-up)

(defvar isearch-control-X-map (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key isearch-control-X-map "2" 'split-window-vertically)
(define-key isearch-control-X-map "\C-b" 'list-buffers)
(define-key isearch-control-X-map [t] 'isearch-other-control-char)
(define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-x" isearch-control-X-map)
