   Now that I think of it, why not use C-space (set-mark) to terminate
   a search?

I set search-exit-char to -1 and search-exit-option to t so that
`random control characters' and nothing else terminate a search.  I
then use C-@ (set-mark) to terminate a search, unless I want to do
some other command instead.

The only thing I can't then do is search for newline by typing RET in
the string -- I have to use C-Q C-J instead, and I find that a minor
pain.
