M-y is what you need. It adds the last killed text into the search string.
C-y (which normally inserts the killed text) in isearch mode adds the
rest of the line into the search string.
I suspect that you use some other keybinding to paste the copied text
like <S-insert>. I think it's better not to rebind it in isearch mode
to paste the text into the search string, because this key is more
useful to finish isearch mode and insert the copied text to the place
where the search was stopped. This way not rebinding <S-insert> and
<S-delete> in isearch mode makes it possible to use them to perform the
same operations as rebound in isearch mode C-w and C-y normally do.
