Here's a fix for the isearch bug; now a mouse action will exit an
isearch. The fix is quite simple and consists of
1) changing the position of the line (abort-isearch) in the motion.el
routines
2) removing the save-window-excursion loop from isearch.el. I'm
including the mouse part of my .emacs file (which fixes the isearch
bug), followed by my doctored version of isearch.el.
If you use my version of isearch.el, make sure it is at the top of
your load-path variable (check with C-h v load-path). I do this by
putting the new isearch.el in my directory epoch-4.2/epoch-lisp and
byte-compile-ing it to make a new isearch.elc.
I also recommend my other included mouse mods, which include
Textedit-like secondary selections (cut/copy/paste a grey region away
from the mouse) and emacstool-like modeline mouse scrolling. To me
the advantage of epoch is the extra (programmable) mouse capability.

;;; MOUSE CUSTOMIZATIONS.
;;;
;;; Everything here works with a split window, but not
;;; with separate screens. I use an emacs window that fills up
;;; the whole screen anyway. We exit gracefully
;;; from isearches by: putting the line (abort-isearch) at the end of
;;; our mouse routines; and recompiling search by removing the one
;;; instance of save-window-excursion in isearch.el.
;;; Primary selections hacked from motion.el to resemble Paul
;;; Burchard's mods of x-mouse.el
;;;
;;; left mouse = insert cursor and begin hiliting (underlining).
;;; middle mouse = end hiliting & set-mark & copy hilited
;;; region to kill ring and x cut-buffer.
;;; with double click fills-region-as-paragraph.
;;; right mouse = paste x cut-buffer at mouse.
;;; cut (L10) button = cut hilited region.
;;; shift middle mouse = cut region between point and mouse.
;;;
;;; more precisely, sh-mid-mouse-down hilites and sh-mid-mouse-up cuts.
;;; cut does not take place if you pick up the shift key before
;;; picking up middle-mouse.
;;; Textedit-like secondary selections:
;;;
;;; left meta mouse = begin secondary hiliting (grey stipple).
;;; middle meta mouse-down = hilite and copy to x cut-buffer.
;;; middle meta mouse-up = paste here and un-hilite.
;;; (pick up shift to cancel.)
;;; shift middle meta mouse-down= hilite and copy to x cut-buffer.
;;; shift middle meta mouse-up = paste here and cut there.
;;; (pick up shift-meta to cancel.)
;;; right meta mouse = paste there.
;;; shift middle meta mouse = cut there.
;;; Emacstool-like modeline mouse scrolling:
;;;
;;; (left middle right)-modeline mouse = (page-down recenter page-up)
;;; shift-(left middle right)-modeline = (beg-file top-recenter end-file)
;;; dbl clicks-(left right)-mod. mouse = (beg-file end-file)
