	When you are in an I-search and hit C-f (or any other control sequence but
	ESC, C-s, C-w, C-y, C-q), the I-search is abandonded. Same thing in non-epoch
	Gnu emacs under X when you hit a mouse button.

	Is there any way to make a mouse button cause I-search to be left in Epoch?

I define this:

(defun abort-isearch () "Abort any isearch in progress."
  (condition-case err
      (throw 'search-done t)
    (no-catch nil)))

Then I add it to all the functions I want to abort isearch, e.g.:

(defun start-mouse-drag (arg)
  (when arg
    (setq mouse::downp 'start)
    (mouse::set-point arg)
    (set-mouse-marker)
    (setq mouse::last-point (point))
    (if drag-button
      (progn (delete-button drag-button) (setq drag-button nil) )
    )
  )
  (abort-isearch)
)

It is the easiest solution I could come up with, but it is certainly not
the best thing.  It works most of the time - you still need to abort the
isearch with a control character if it was started from a mouse hit itself.
