I haven't looked at the details, but in principle I have no objection, as
long as this command is not bound to the standard isearch keys.
However, with the recent addition of `dired-details.el', the need for this
is not so great, IMO. I expect that many users will keep Dired details
hidden most of the time, in which case regular isearch searches only the
file names (they are all that is visible). And if you want to search other
than a file name, you just hit one key to toggle the display of details.
In sum, I'd prefer that regular isearch still be bound to its normal keys
(C-s, C-r, C-M-s, C-M-r). I don't really care whether dired-isearch.el is
added or bound to other keys. I probably won't use it, but others might.
