Dunno why you think that, but OK. So what was meant then by "the default"?
What's the alternative behavior, and how does a user get it?

Is that the alternative for users to "the default" behavior - recoding Isearch?
Not a rhetorical question. If I'm missing something I'd like to know what the
suggestion is.

Why? The doc makes clear that the intention of `C-g' (for successful search) is
to take you back where you were. Including window position as part of where you
were would be a natural and reasonable extension for the `C-g' behavior.
I would not object if that were optional for users, if there is someone who
really thinks we should also keep the current behavior.
But what does any of this have to do with `C-SPC'? Sorry, you've lost me. The
question is about `C-g' in the case of search success.
