(This behavior appears the same in 2.5.1 and in build 602.)
Bug: If you select the emacs key mappings, the escape key is used for various keyboard shortcuts. As a result, you can't hit escape to get out of an incremental search. (The only way to get out seems to be to click with the mouse.)
Feature: It would be nice if the keys used within incremental search could be changed to be the same as emacs. In emacs, Control-S within an incremental search goes forward and Control-R goes back. The arrow keys leave incremental search at the current location, and Control-G takes you back where you started.
(Oh, by the way, no help files were shipped in build 602.)
