This will call 'font-lock-ensure' for every search hit? Wouldn't it be better to call 'font-lock-ensure' only once at the beginning of the search? > A related question is whether everybody always wants to search in > symlink targets when isearching file names in dired...

Maybe not an option, but just a simple variable?
