Info hides the text "*note Char-Tables::" and uses the text property `display'
to put another text "(see Char-Tables)" instead.  Some users complained
when isearch-yank-line yanked invisible text "*note", so now it ignores
invisible text.  But it seems ignoring invisible text is worse than yanking.
So perhaps `Info-isearch-filter' shouldn't skip invisible text.
