Input-method during isearch

[Gordon Gustafson]

Ideally you should search with evil's /, which already uses the
current input method, rather than try to hack something together
yourself (you can always rebind it to C-s if you feel like that's what
you want). If you still want to build this yourself, look into the
macro evil-without-input-method-hooks, which is used in evil-search.el
to implement this behavior for evil's search. Long story short, evil
has hooks that prevent you from using an input method in normal state,
and evil-without-input-method-hooks is probably the best way to get
around them.
