I've been using this bit of awfulness to solve the "char-fold" thing. It
hides "char-fold" by default and displays "raw" if we've turned off
char-folding. It still displays "raw regex isearch" though.
I like the idea of taking over the modeline to display isearch state.
(defun fix-isearch--describe-word-mode (word-mode &optional space-before)
(let ((description
(cond ((eq word-mode 'character-fold-to-regexp) "")
((and (symbolp word-mode)
(get word-mode 'isearch-message-prefix))
(get word-mode 'isearch-message-prefix))
(word-mode "word ")
(t "raw "))))
(if space-before
;; Move space from the end to the beginning.
(replace-regexp-in-string "\\(.*\\) \\'" " \\1" description)
description)))
(when (fboundp 'isearch--describe-word-mode)
(advice-add 'isearch--describe-word-mode
:override
'fix-isearch--describe-word-mode))
