Of course.  I just claimed that when I use those mode- and
user-defined commands, I'm rarely in isearch mode.
Comparatively speaking, I use C-o to open a line while in
isearch mode more often.

Perhaps.  How about C-i (TAB)?  Currently, C-i in isearch
mode searches for TAB.  I didn't know that.  I have been
doing C-q C-i for that.
