(isearch-search-fun): Compare the length of the current search string with the length of the string from the previous search state to detect the situation when the user adds or removes characters in the search string. Use word-search-forward-lax and word-search-backward-lax in this case, and otherwise word-search-forward and word-search-backward.

apparently there was a big discussion on emacs-devel wrt trailing whitespace.
there was a mass-change to remove such from various branches in cvs.  probably
it's a good idea to avoid adding trailing whitespace in new code/docs and in
changes.
