You can toggle the whitespace-matching behavior during Isearch using `M-s SPC' (command `isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace'). The doc string of `isearch-lax-whitespace' should tell you this directly, but it says only that you can use `isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace'. It does not tell you that this command is bound to `M-s SPC' during Isearch. I've just now filed bug #22483 for this oversight. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D22483
