Good question.
Quote from the docstring of `isearch-forward-regexp':
In regexp incremental searches, a space or spaces normally matches
any whitespace (the variable `search-whitespace-regexp' controls
precisely what that means). If you want to search for a literal space
and nothing else, enter C-q SPC.
Does anyone knows why `query-replace-regexp' don't behave that way too?
I think it should, i.e., `query-replace-regexp' should find the same
matches that `isearch-forward-regexp' would find with the same search
regexp.
