Having a delay in the minibuffer between typing C-s and seeing the search string highlighted, or requiring to type another key to exit the delay, would be a nuisance. I agree. If we display the search prompt at the end, clearly that should be done after highlighting the string that was found, so that it imposes no delay on seeing the highlighting.
