   I have found some confusing behavior with interaction between
   isearch-forward-regexp and search-exit-char.  I have bound
   isearch-forward-regexp to C-s and search-exit-char bound to ESC (I think
   that is the default).  Try the following key sequence from the *scratch*
   buffer:

      C-x 1 C-s ESC C-x o h e l l o RET RET

   This starts an incremental isearch. The ESC cancels it, which really
   puts me into non-incremental search. However, if you try to do a
   other-window, Emacs leaves the cursor in the minibuffer. It looks like
   Emacs is still prompting for the search string, but point is really in
   the *scratch* buffer, not the minibuffer. If you try typing text, it is
   inserted in the *scratch* buffer! 

Here is a patch to fix this behavior:

      ;; Read the search string with corrected prompt.

      ;; Empty means use default.
      (if (= 0 (length string))

      ;; Read the search string with corrected prompt.
!     (let (cursor-in-echo-area)
!       (setq string (read-string message)))
      ;; Empty means use default.
      (if (= 0 (length string))

Enjoy,
