> While we're improving isearch, there is another minor change that I think
> would improve its behavior, namely to go to the next/previous match when
> changing the search direction, instead of hitting the same match before
> moving to the next/previous one with the next C-s/C-r.  This change is so
> small that I'm not sure it's worth creating a defcustom for it, but you
> might have a different opinion.

1. Please file a separate bug report when you move the goal post.

2. Please do NOT do this.  There are reasons we want to
   stay at the same search hit.  One of them has already
   surfaced in these (lamentable) discussions of isearch
   "improvements": namely, use `C-r RET' to move to the
   beginning of the search hit (when searching forward).
