Yes, in isearch.el, for Emacs 24.3. But I was wrong about them
being user options. They are defvars, so you could use defvar
or setq to change their values.
But it is generally better to use command
`isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace', which is bound to `M-s SPC' during
Isearch.
You can, however, set those variables in your init file the way you
want them to be at the outset.
(And you can customize option `search-whitespace-regexp'.)
