Could be useful. The main question is how to later get rid of it. Perhaps the next isearch could do that, or let isearch toggle it (see below). Turning it on by a particular exit key sequence is not the best way. I would rather have that be a user option (like case-fold-search), and be able to toggle the option while in isearch (like we can toggle case-fold-search).
