How about a text/overlay property that says what text to use for
i-searching instead of the underlying text? Then the mode itself (or
whoever added the corresponding display/invisible property) could make
exactly the right decision -- e.g. David would add the underlying
text, but info mode could add the text shown by the display property.
Something like:
(overlay-put ov 'isearch-text "This is the search text")
(overlay-put ov 'display (some-bit-map))
[I assume an implementation of this would be rather inefficient,
because the text wouldn't be in the buffer and the regexp search
primitives work directly on the buffer-gap data structures -- but I
assume these cases are relatively rare, and doesn't the
isearch-invisible hack have to deal with similar cases anyway?]
