I'd suggest M-w for `isearch-yank-word-before-point' and M-l for
`isearch-yank-line-before-point'.  That reminds me of scrolling up and
down, where the C-binding moves forward and the M-binding backward.

And maybe both functions should be renamed to
`isearch-yank-word-or-char-backward' and `isearch-yank-line-backward.

Just my 2 cents.

Bye,
Tassilo
