I agree that we have to keep the original string, and interpret it
differently according to the current search options.

And to distinguish the case when the search string was entered manually
and the case when the search string was yanked with `C-s C-y' I think
we should inspect the stack of `isearch-cmds'.  If it contains two or more
manually entered space characters then preserve them while matching whitespace.
