Please read the bug report. I made several suggestions
in this regard. But yes, what you ask was included in
the suggestions.
___
I've also made other suggestions elsewhere, regarding
showing more such state in the mode-line. And I do
that in isearch+.el. E.g., mode-line lighter tells
you whether case-sensitive and whether regexp searching:
(if case-fold-search
(if isearch-regexp " R*SEARCH" " ISEARCH")
(if isearch-regexp " R*search" " Isearch"))
But adding char-folding and other state would be
unmanageable with just a lighter. I don't suggest
trying to make the lighter communicate more - the
result would be more confusing than helpful.
