Yes.
I don't know how to do it, but you could write a Vim-Language
function which first replaces all spaces in the search pattern
with \_, and then performs the search.
The following one-line mapping converts whatever you existing
search is, into one that allows whitespace to cross lines:
:nnoremap <f4> :let @/=substitute(@/, '<bslash>s',
'<bslash><bslash>_s<bslash><bslash>+', 'g')<cr>n
So you can search for something and then, if you get no hits,
press <f4> and it will search again for the same thing allowing
the spaces to be newlines instead.
