For Icicles you could use a key prefix with Icicles specific mnemonics like
`M-s I'.

There are more currently conflicting modes listed in admin/FOR-RELEASE:
** Check for modes which bind M-s that conflicts with a new global binding M-s
and change key bindings where necessary. The current list of modes:
1. Gnus binds `M-s' to `gnus-summary-search-article-forward'.
2. Minibuffer binds `M-s' to `next-matching-history-element'
(not useful any more since C-s can now search in the history).
3. `center-line' in Text mode was already moved to the text formatting
keymap as `M-o M-s' (thus this binding is not necessary any more
in `nroff-mode-map' too and can be removed now from the nroff mode
because it can now use the global key binding `M-o M-s' `center-line').
4. PCL-CVS binds `M-s' to `cvs-status', and log-edit-mode binds it to
`log-edit-comment-search-forward'. Perhaps search commands
on the global key binding `M-s' are useless in these modes.
5. Rmail binds `\es' to `rmail-search'/`rmail-summary-search'.
(If this problem is not release-critical then it should be removed from
admin/FOR-RELEASE. It is recorded now here in bug#11482.)
Like the proposed keybinding `M-s M-s' for Gnus, the minibuffer could
rebind `next-matching-history-element' to `M-s M-s'. And perhaps Shell
could bind `comint-history-isearch-forward-regexp' to `M-s M-s' as well.
However, I have doubts about rebinding `rmail-search' to `M-s M-s'
because of the comment in rmail.el:
;; I find I can't live without the default M-r command -- rms.
Does this statement apply to `M-s' too?
