Isn't it more convenient to type a new key to immediately remove the
failed part without entering the minibuffer for editing?  For example,
after typing `M-e' (selecting a good key is a difficult issue) it will
remove the failed part of the search string, go to the previous successful
matching point, and all this without activating the minibuffer.
