It is shown bound to the key C-h . This is technically correct, as corresponds to (define-key isearch-mode-map [t] 'isearch-other-control-char) But users will not understand the notation . It is mentioned nowhere in any Emacs manual. And there certainly is no function key `t'. If a user searches well enough and reads a bit, s?he might understand that here corresponds to this text about `define-key' in (elisp) `Changing Key Bindings': If KEY is `[t]', this sets the default binding in KEYMAP. When an event has no binding of its own, the Emacs command loop uses the keymap's default binding, if there is one. But users cannot be expected to do all that and make the necessary connections. User-friendly output here would use a simple description in place of . Something like "Default key binding". But such a user-friendly description should really be moved out of the list, putting it either before or after the list, since this is not a single binding of a specific key. This is a bit like our treatment of `Prefix command', but in reverse: in this case it is the key column that needs the general description. But the case of `C-h ' shows that we need some descriptive text that can be placed after a prefix key. So perhaps instead of "Default key binding" we could use "OTHER", making it a link to a sentence that says it stands for any key not otherwise defined. E.g., C-h OTHER with OTHER linked to "footnote" text like this: OTHER indicates any key not otherwise defined. An alternative would be to have the manuals introduce as meaning what we are currently using it for. That could be OK too, since one cannot define a function key `t' in any case. The manuals tell Lisp programmers what [t] means for `define-key', but they don't tell users what means as a key description. This alternative is perhaps not as helpful for a newbie as using something like C-h OTHER with an explanation. But it would be useful anyway, not just as an alternative here, but for completion of the doc. Something like (kbd "") might become less puzzling etc. One way or another, the current undocumented and unclear use of needs to be taken care of.

You don't find it because this was (I see now) fixed in 24.4. I reported it for 24.3. Bug reports sometimes get ignored. And later sometimes someone else stumbles on the same bug. And sometimes it gets fixed, whether reported as a separate (duplicate) bug or not. AFAICT, this is fixed and can be closed.
