I have seen reports about `semantic' blocking isearch in Info because
it overwrites isearch functions with its own.  Even though it seems not
the problem reported by OP, I think we should find a way to avoid a
problem of conflicts between packages that redefine isearch functions.

But maybe there is no problem at all, if `semantic' doesn't really need
to change isearch functions in Info.  Then there is a bug in `semantic'
if it does this unintentionally.
