Please do not do this.  I want to see the new search string,
not some repetitions informational message.

Besides, I may rebind C-y in a search to do what it used to do:
exit the search!

People are wantonly redefining control characters in searches to do
other things, as if people though that these characters are somehow
undefined.  They are not undefined.  They exit the search and then
take an action.
