To my mind kaushalmodi's recommendation of M-e is the best answer -- making it easy to correct the problem seems preferable to trying to make isearch read your mind. … Note that isearch is smart enough to take note of the first character where the search failed, and M-e places the cursor at that position automatically so, even when you've continued to type subsequent …
