->there anyway for EMACS to respond to the ^S/^Q as flow control rather than
->Search and Quote character?

-I had this problem, too.  The only way is to assign no function to the
-^Q/^S characters and assign some unused keys to the functions that
-^Q/^S used to invoke.

If this is the route you pick and you normally bind isearch-forward to ^S
make sure you change the value of the variable search-repeat-char as well.
Otherwise things won't behave the way you expect.
