I meant a patch from bug#12078 and implementing the suggestion from bug#1= 2988 that will allow Isearch to always start with the default short prompt =E2= =80=98I-search=E2=80=99 and any changes from the default state will add more indicators to the pr= ompt. For example, if the default search is case-insensitive, then =E2=80=98C-s= =E2=80=99 will display =E2=80=9CI-search=E2=80=9D, and =E2=80=98M-s c=E2=80=99 will turn the pro= mpt into =E2=80=9CCase-sensitive I-search=E2=80=9D. Your suggestion of displaying flashing initially also makes sense. This flashing could be similar to how e.g. =E2=80=9C[case sensitive]=E2=80= =9D is flashed momentarily on toggling with =E2=80=98M-s c=E2=80=99, but also on startin= g Isearch. Whether to display verbose indicators (like currently are used, e.g. =E2=80=9CRegexp I-search=E2=80=9D) or 1-letter cryptic ones (e.g. =E2=80=9C= I-search(r/c/')=E2=80=9D like in C-mode with its indicators such as =E2=80=9CC/lahw=E2=80=9D) is a= matter of taste and could be customizable.
