Yes, but it's much more typing than a simple C-g which is not a good thing
in case of a frequent operation. I use isearch quite a lot to move around
in buffers.
As a workaround I added an advice which forces isearch to always store
the search string:
(defadvice isearch-done (before my-isearch-done activate)
(ad-set-arg 0 nil))
With this anyone can try it how it feels in practice. I find it
quite convenient that I can quickly repeat an isearch with
C-s C-s regardless if I exited the search normally or aborted it.
