  * Changes in Emacs 21.4
  
+ +++
+ ** The new variable search-whitespace-regexp controls how to search
+ for spaces in a regular expression.  If it is non-nil, it should be a
+ regular expression, and any series of spaces stands for that regular
+ expression.  If it is nil, spaces stand for themselves.
+ 
+ Spaces inside of constructs such as [..] and *, +, ? are never
+ replaced with search-whitespace-regexp.
+ 
  ** line-move-ignore-invisible now defaults to t.
  
  ** In Outline mode, hide-body no longer hides lines at the top
