I did some brief investigation. This is not a bug in the search machinery itself, but rather in the TextIterator class. Its code to handle whitespace collapsing does not kick in, and the tab character shows up as a tab character. Another symptom of the problem is that when you copy the content you get a tab character rather than a space character in the plain text version. The intent is that you get a space.
