Wrong.  I use the fix of setting the search exit char to \r and it
does indeed both terminate the search and perform movement also.
I just checked it to make absolutely sure that I wasn't misremembering.
It works.

Check the emacs manual for details, but as I recall isearch terminates
and executes the appropriate command for any control key that isn't one
of isearch's special keys.  If you reset the search-exit-char, then
this also applies to the ESC key.
