The problem is that some of these keys are not alphanumeric,
thus not easily recognizable when displayed in the prompt.

Since the default prompt should be short plain "Isearch",
after adding longer non-cryptic indicators for non-default states,
the problem of the long prompt will occur less often,
especially after removing the failing/wrapped/pending messages.
