In "incremental search" (I'm assuming from context you are using that), any
whitespace you enter will match a sequence of one or more whitespaces.
You can change this behaviour by setting the variable "isearch-lax-whitespace"
to nil (there is a command for that, "isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace").
Try M-x isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace to change that.
