Here's an opinion from a user: I think it would be really good if C-y (yank) and M-y (yank-pop) were available in isearch minibuffer. They are intuitive: user very likely already knows how copy and paste works so (s)he might try those commands anyway. The current behavior of C-y, C-M-y, C-w and C-M-w in isearch minibuffer are kind of special cases of yanking. In some cases they are faster and more handy but general yank and yank-pop feel like the primary instruments that should be available.
