This is what I expected.
Thanks for tracking down the threads, Glenn.
It would seem the binding for hitting C-y in Isearch to yank the rest
of the line existed ever since Daniel LaLiberte wrote Isearch 20 years
ago. I guess its time has come. This means hitting C-k C-/ C-s C-y
rather than C-s C-y. I can relinquish that C-y in Isearch wasn't
consistent with global C-y in Emacs, but if word and character yanking
are on C-w and C-M-y, respectively, it seems like line-yanking should
be on a better binding than M-s C-e.
Thanks again,
aaron
