Description
So when using reverse search, you can either exit while validating (Enter), but you have no way of exiting with just what you have type.
May I suggest to bind <esc> to dismiss search buffer, and set content of the current buffer to the value of search buffer before dismissal ?

Research direction
Start by tracing the reverse-search interaction and its existing Enter handling, then inspect how key bindings update the current buffer. Verify how Escape is dispatched during validation and how the search buffer is represented. Done means Escape dismisses reverse search while preserving the typed search value in the current buffer, with coverage for that interaction.
