Isn't this binding of shift-left and shift-right from Org mode?
I still have no solution how to use this feature in Org mode.

Or maybe your shift-left and shift-right bindings come from
windmove-default-keybindings?  There is still no solution
because windmove's global shift-binding exits Isearch
and moves to another window.

I tried their original keybindings

(define-key isearch-mode-map [(shift left)]  'left-char)
(define-key isearch-mode-map [(shift right)] 'right-char)

but it still doesn't work.  Maybe we should support shift-key in isearch
explicitly, not relying on this-command-keys-shift-translated.
