There is less need to show "Multi" when the user explicitly invokes
multi-isearch, because the user already knows that multi-isearch
is active.

OTOH, when multi-isearch is activated implicitly, it is more important
to inform the user about this case.  This is like saying to users:
"Beware, this is not a simple I-search".
