For instance, if you type @kbd{C-s} and then @kbd{F}, that puts the

By default, incremental search performs @dfn{lax space matching}:
each space, or sequence of spaces, matches any sequence of one or more
spaces in the text. Hence, @samp{foo bar} matches @samp{foo bar},
@samp{foo bar}, @samp{foo bar}, and so on (but not @samp{foobar}).
More precisely, Emacs matches each sequence of space characters in the
search string to a regular expression specified by the variable
@code{search-whitespace-regexp}. For example, to make spaces match
sequences of newlines as well as spaces, set it to
@samp{foo@w{ }bar}, @samp{foo@w{ }bar}, and so on (but not
@samp{foobar}). More precisely, Emacs matches each sequence of space
characters in the search string to a regular expression specified by
the variable @code{search-whitespace-regexp}. For example, to make
spaces match sequences of newlines as well as spaces, set it to
@samp{"[[:space:]\n]+"}.
To toggle lax space matching, type @kbd{M-s @key{SPC}}
