isearch-forward and cua keybindings enabled (alien.top)

When I use isearch-forward with cua keybindings enabled, then I still have to paste the text searched for in the minibuffer with C-y. When I use C-v then it pastes the text in the current buffer and not in the minibuffer. Is this correct behavior?

I assume you're talking about the scenario where you want to search for the contents of the kill ring (so C-s C-y for normal bindings).

That sounds like a deficiency of cua-mode to me; I think it seems reasonable for C-v to behave like C-y in that situation.

You can M-x report-emacs-bug if there isn't an existing bug report for that.
