Isn't an easier way to achieve this by setting `isearch-allow-scroll'
to t?

Note that isearch.el already contains:

(put 'scroll-other-window 'isearch-scroll t)
(put 'scroll-other-window-down 'isearch-scroll t)

I think it should be rather dependent on if the other window is the
help buffer created by isearch-mode-help, than if C-h and f1 is bound,
because users can bind isearch-mode-help to other keys.
