I agree the default behavior is rather annoying.  I don't use funcy keys, but
often after a search i want to do M-b or M-<.  Setting the exit characater to
`q' seems very confusing, unless you never search for words with that letter
in them.  Personally, i use control-], which otherwise aborts recursive edit.
Now isearch isn't a recursive edit, but they're similar.
