Emacs24 can't do incremental searches for multiple spaces, though
Emacs23 does it well.
I use this frequently in defining macros to operate on heterogeneous files.

Perhaps you want:
(setq search-whitespace-regexp nil)

I would like to search for a specified number of spaces, say 12 or 19 etc
and to do this while defining a macro to be applied many times. I set the
number of blanks while recording the macro.
Thanks!

I believe setting search-whitespace-regexp to nil will allow you to do that.
