The way to yank into the I-search response is with M-y.
You may have noticed that I did not mention the minibuffer in the above
sentence. I am not an authority on isearch and have not studied the elisp
for isearch but from what I have observed I believe that isearch does not
use the minibuffer. What I have observed is that when I invoke isearch and
then click in the echo area a message is displayed that says "minibuffer
window is not active".
Keep these things in mind:
o The bottom line of the frame is not used exclusively for the minibuffer
(in fact it is only a minibuffer when a command creates one, at all other
times it is the echo area).
o All commands that solicit input from the user do not use the minibuffer to
do so.

Subject: pasting into the minibuffer
Hi,
I can't paste using Ctrl-Insert(or yank using C-y) into the minibuffer to
insert the target for an I-search, but I can do so into a query-replace.
I've hunted and poked around in the documentation for a reason for this, but
I have yet to find an answer. Can anyone tell me why, or what I might be
doing wrong?
TIA,
Mike
