FWIW, Info+ doesn't have this problem. It deactivates
the mark only when search moves to another node.
___
If library Isearch+ is also loaded then when search
stays in the same node the mark is deactivated if
option `isearchp-deactivate-region-flag' is non-nil
(the default). You can toggle this anytime during
Isearch with `M-= C-SPC'.
So you control the behavior for search within a node,
and deactivation happens when search moves to another
node.
