Jun 12, 2018 at 20:04 comment added John Thanks! Adding (setq isearch-lax-whitespace nil) to my default.el file did the trick!

Jun 11, 2018 at 22:50 comment added Drew Don't modify anything in isearch.el. It works out of the box, even in vanilla Emacs (emacs -Q: no init file). If you want to change the default behavior, just set the variable(s) to nil in your init file. E.g., (setq isearch-lax-whitespace nil).
Jun 11, 2018 at 22:48 comment added John Thanks Drew! I tried modifying isearch.el, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Does that file need to be recompiled, and if so what is the process? I tried the isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace and it worked interactively, so I put it in my default.el file, and it seems to work, so would that be a better solution than the modification to isearch.el?
