This is a portion of my .emacs file:

(global-set-key "\C-^" 'isearch-forward)
(global-set-key "\C-\\" 'quoted-insert)
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\" 'toggle-read-only)
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-^" 'save-buffer)

(setq search-quote-char 28)
(setq search-repeat-char 30)

(global-unset-key "\C-q")
(global-unset-key "\C-s")

This sets search to be C-^ (C-` or C-6 on many terminals).  It also moves
the quote character to C-\.  (I also move C-X C-S and C-X C-Q.)  The next
lines modify the smae characters inside the search.  The last lines unset
C-S and C-Q so that when the terminal send them, they are ignored.  (Well,
almost.  Emacs still seems to see them and screen refreshes are buggy.)
