By default, search commands perform @dfn{lax space matching}: each space, or sequence of spaces, matches any sequence of one or more whitespace characters in the text. (Incremental regexp search has a -separate default; see @ref{Regexp Search}.) Hence, @samp{foo bar} -matches @samp{foo bar}, @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]+"}. The default value of this -variable depends on the buffer's major mode; most major modes classify -spaces, tabs, and formfeed characters as whitespace. +separate default; see @ref{Regexp Search}.)
