When doing a yank after an isearch-forward/backward, the most natural thing that one wishes to happen is to isearch the string provided by that yank. How to realize this?
You say:
Recently I have installed the packages isearch+ when I remove the line
(require 'isearch+)from my init file, the problem is solved.

C-yis bound to in theisearch-mode-mapby isearch+.
and
Check that package's documentation in its header; by design you need to hit
C-y C-yto do the usual yank:;;
C-y C-yisearch-yank-kill.
By default, C-y is a prefix key in Isearch+. There are multiple yank commands, all bound to keys on prefix C-y. C-y C-y is bound by default to isearch-yank-kill.
You can of course bind any key you like (in isearch-mode-map) to any Isearch command, including to isearch-yank-kill:
(define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "WHATEVER") 'isearch-yank-kill)
FYI -- You can not only get this info from the isearch+.el library file header, as @kaushalmodi pointed out. You can also use C-s C-h to see all bindings in the Isearch-mode keymap. And if you use library help-fns+.el then you can also use C-h M-k isearch-mode-map to see a human-readable description of all of the keys and their commands.
C-s C-y, it'll yank text into the minibuffer, and isearch will search the text in the buffer for the yanked text.C-ytwo times to achieve this (i.e.C-s C-y C-y). But the natural thing is to pressC-s C-yas you said. I have the impression that it is because when doingC-sthe minibuffer is not in focus.C-s C-ydefinitely works for me. I'm using Emacs 24.4; how about you? Does it also not work starting fromemacs -Q?C-yis bound to in theisearch-mode-mapbyisearch+. Keeping this question might be useful for people facing the same confusion. You can answer your own question.C-y C-yto do the usualyank:;; `C-y C-y' `isearch-yank-kill'.
