Reasonably.  fisearch() and risearch() interpret the keys you type.  If
you hit a command key, that command gets done.  BUT, if the command is
bound to a "search-class" command, the isearch is repeated in the
direction of the search whose command key you hit.  This is all well
and good, but the code doesn't consider fisearch() or risearch()
themselves as "search-class" commands, so you don't get what you expect
when you hit those keys.

I fixed that in a set of patches that I sent Daniel Lawrence last night
on his BBS.
