If you are running under Sunview (suntools), then you should try
using EMACSTOOL!  Emacstool will handle the Open & Expose keys and
encode the others so that they are actually usable by Emacs.
In particular, the first char transmitted by a function key
in emacstool is ^X, so it not only terminates the I-search, but 
it is correctly dispatched as a function.

 Try it, you'll like it.

Read .../etc/emacstool.1 (the man page) for more details.
See also .../etc/SUN-SUPPORT

ps, If you are running under X11 or NeWS, this problem is similarly solved.
