Setting search-exit-char will not make the arrow keys stop a search and
work as arrow keys (like c-f or c-n will).  To make this work, a more
general solution is needed such as allowing multiple search-exit-characters.
You also have to let a character both stop a search and start the dispatch
of the next command.

I don't get it. Typing c-s/c-r from inside a search already repeats the
current or previous search.
