Right. It should be easy to switch between isearch and query-replace.

"What" versus "how".
We have a search history because it's often the case that we want to
repeat something we've recently done --- look up the same word, find the
same function, and so on. It doesn't make sense to me that the exact
mechanism we use to search for a particular thing should affect its
recency or the way in which we recall it.
It's very easy already to casually switch between literal and regex
isearch with M-r. Why should this distinction affect the way in which we
recall that search?

Both.
