Yes. Often if people want to search for a ReallyComplicatedAndLongWord
they are too lazy too type it in isearch, so they copy it to the
clipboard from some application, type C-s to start a search and then hit
Shift+Insert to insert it at the minibuffer prompt. This doesn't work,
which isn't really intuitive.

No, exactly this.

I think it's ok. However I think we have included some more user
friendly command for this during development of Emacs 23 but I can't
remember it's name...

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
