I can see your point, but my gut feeling is perhaps not the same. Also consider the 4th point I made: > 4) Maybe more important: The marker in isearch that shows the > direction will be at the position where the yanking is done. Or at > least nearly. So the semantics is in a sense the same since yanking is > done forward from that marker. I any case I think it is important that the key sequences for adding at the beginning and end of the search string are similar. There are 4 yank commands in isearch for adding at the end. How about adding shift to these to add at the beginning?
