Using mouse during a search

Quite often during a search I use the mouse to place the point 
or select a region. I often forget to exit the search and using 
the mouse does not terminate the seach unlike using control keys
which always terminate a search. Thus, if I place the point then
type something the search command just continues. This continually 
messes me up.

How can I make the mouse button commands terminate a search? So if 
I place the point or select a region during a search the corresponding
search terminates.

Thanks in advance,
Chris Chase
