Regexp I-Search mini-buffer insert register contents

Regexp I-Search mini-buffer insert register contents

[St/n_P/rm/n]

When attempting to insert the contents of a register to the Regexp
I-Search mini-buffer

C-M-s -->  Regexp I-search: ---> C-x i u

I get this in response:

"progn: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil"

Get the same for vanilla incremental search also.

Not sure if this is a bug but generally i am able to pass registers in
the mini buffer.

The thing about Isearch is that it doesn't really use a minibuffer, as
you can observe from the fact that the cursor doesn't appear in the echo
area.  So commands like `C-y' and `C-x r i' don't work the same way as
in a minibuffer.

If you want to search using the kill ring or a register, do
`M-x search-forward' or `M-x re-search-forward'.
