No other control character is defined, except (since at least Emacs 21) C-\ (bound to isearch-toggle-input-method; C-\ is bound to toggle-input-method in global-map) and C-^ (bound to isearch-toggle-specified-input-method; C-^ is unbound in global-map). The other bindings have a M- or C-M- prefix. I guess that the discussions you remember were about these ones. As Drew told you, you can get the detailed list of bindings with M-x describe-keymap RET isearch-mode-map RET.
