I don't want DEL, I want backspace. So I changed it to (global-set-key
(kbd "C-h") (kbd "<backspace>")) instead of delete-backwards-char. But
it still doesn't work when searching.

'/ab^J' will bring up search, and add 'ab' followed by literally the
characters '^' and 'J'. '/ab^H' will bring up search, add 'ab' to the
query, and then close it.

The problem in helm is different. If I bring up helm using helm-M-x,
using ^J or ^H will not work for different reasons. ^J because it is
bound to something else, and ^H because it's not bound to anything
(i.e. ^H^H will print "C-h C-h is undefined").
