There was fairly strong opposition to this, so closing as "wontfix".

Yanking to the end of the search string in isearh (i.e. C-w etc.) is
very practical. However I miss yanking to the front of the search
string.

My suggestion is to change the semantics a bit and yank to the front
of the search string when searching backwards. What do you think?
