Documentation

Whether to allow movement between isearch matches by cursor motion commands.

If non-nil, the four motion commands M-< (beginning-of-buffer), M-> (end-of-buffer), C-v (scroll-up-command) and M-v (scroll-down-command), when invoked during Isearch, move respectively to the first occurrence of the current search string in the buffer, the last one, the first one after the current window, and the last one before the current window. If nil, these motion commands normally exit Isearch and are executed. See also the related options isearch-motion-changes-direction and isearch-allow-scroll.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 28.1.
