s runs the command gnus-summary-isearch-article...

and is a total bummer, because once you have found the text, all you can
do is look at it. If you want to copy it, sorry: any exiting the search
flies you back to the *Summary* buffer.

That's why "s" is so weird. It would be better if it never existed in
the first place. The user already knows how to switch to the *Article*
buffer and do C-s there like any other buffer.

Sure you could pack gnus-summary-isearch-article with extra ways to stop
the search, but it would be just making more unnecessary mess.

It's an odd command, but it's existed since the mid-80s, I think?  So I
think it's a bit too late to remove it.

That seems smoother.
