I have the following in my literate Emacs configuration file:

  * Isearch configuration
  
  [...]
  
  Search across spaces, tabs, and newlines.
  
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq isearch-lax-whitespace t
        isearch-regexp-lax-whitespace t
        search-whitespace-regexp "[ \t\r\n]+")
  #+end_src

Perhaps that could help you?
