Here it does not.

I have the same problem with e.g. longlines-mode, which sets
isearch-search-fun-function buffer-locally, too.  Here's what I do.

,----
| 1. C-x C-f somefile
| 2. M-x longlines-mode
| 3. C-h v isearch-search-fun-function => longlines-search-function
| 4. C-s foo C-g
| 5. C-h v isearch-search-fun-function => nil
`----

If I edebug-defun isearch-search-string before I start step 4 I can see
that the value of isearch-search-fun-function already is nil in that
function.

However, I can only reproduce this with `emacs -q', not with `emacs -Q',
so it seems some addon package I have installed causes this problem.

Ok, now I found the culprit by grepping all sources of the addon
packages I use.  It is CEDET (1.0_pre4).  In senator.el there's some
setting and killing of the buffer-local value of
isearch-search-fun-function.  I deinstalled cedet, and now it works.

Eric, can you have a look at this?

Thanks, I deleted this.

Of course, you're right.
