Search for clipboard text in emacs

Question

is it possible to search for the text that currently is present in the clipboard when hitting C-s, probably with some sort of hook that is triggered when hitting C-s and then inserts the clipboard into the minibuffer?

Answer 1

Isearch provides a set of standard keys to change the behaviour of the search process. Typing C-s M-y invokes isearch-yank-kill that pulls string from kill ring (i.e., clipboard) into search string.
