I forgot these two ones indeed, but M-< and M-> are more natural than M-s 
M-< and M-s M->.

That doesn't do what ctrlf does, even with isearch-allow-scroll set to t, 
the match doesn't change, whereas with ctrlf C-v and M-v change the match 
to the first one above/below the window.

Note that I'm not saying that ctrlf is superior to isearch, I'm only 
indicating what the differences between isearch and ctrlf are.
