Many thanks for your answer, it was very complete.
Isearch+ is pretty much what I want :)
Also i had this snippet to force isearch to always put the cursor in
the beginning of the match:
(defun custom-goto-match-beginning ()
"Use with isearch hook to end search at first char of match."
(when isearch-forward (goto-char isearch-other-end)))
which i just changed to:
(defun custom-goto-match-beginning ()
"Use with isearch hook to end search at first char of match."
(when isearch-forward (exchange-point-and-mark)))
to work with isearch+.
Cheers,
