Thanks for adding the feature!
I would like to see any movement key (except backspace) get me out of incremental search.
I don't think it makes sense to edit the search string that you have written incrementally. If I make a mistake in incremental search it is usually apparent after the first wrong character I type.
Thanks,
Brad

That did it, thanks!
Regarding aborting the search with movement keys, that would pretty much make it impossible to go back and make edits in the search string (other than backspace), but maybe no-one does that?
Line up/down would not cause any limitations. You're right though that character forward/back would prevent the edits to the search string. It is a tradeoff -- I see the value of canceling the search with those keys being better than the ability to edit the search string with them. My argument pretty much comes down to "That's how emacs does it" though. :)
