No. That category is also set on Hiragana and Katakana
characters which are phonetic characters.
And, I think what peaple expect for isearch's C-s C-w and
M-f are different. At least for Japanese, the current M-f
(and M-b, M-DEL) are fairly good, but C-s C-w is not because
of inflection.
So, to make C-s C-w really useful for many languages, I
think we need different concept of char sequence than
`word'. And perhaps, that is also good for English. For
instance, when a cursor is on the first character of
"Kenichi's mail" in a Text mode buffer, C-s C-w tries to
search for "Kenichi's", but it seems that what people want
is to search for just "Kenichi".
