It's written in Info (node Input Methods) as this:

   `C-\ C-\' is especially useful inside an incremental search, because
it stops waiting for more characters to combine, and starts searching
for what you have already entered.

Though, I admit that it's not convenient.  We long ago
discussed about a way to improve the behaviour of isearch in
such a case, but, as far as I remember, no one has provided
a concrete code.
