Given the way that GNU emacs handles keys and key maps, I don't think there's
anything you can do about this.  Incremental search interprets keys at a level
lower than the key map, so it will see your arrow or function keys as a series
of keystrokes.

Here's the at386.el that we use here:

;; Map AT386 function key escape sequences
;; into the standard slots in function-keymap where we can;
;; set up terminal-specific bindings where we must
;;
;; by: JQB, adapted from s4.el

(require 'keypad)

;; First, map as many keys as possible to terminal-independent keycaps
