Cf. the `search-invisible` variable:

    search-invisible is a variable defined in `isearch.el'.  Its 
    value is open 
 
    Documentation: If t incremental search/query-replace can match 
    hidden text.  A nil value means don't match invisible text. 
    When the value is `open', if the text matched is made 
    invisible by an overlay having an `invisible' property and 
    that overlay has a property `isearch-open-invisible', then 
    incremental search will show the contents.  (This applies when 
    using `outline.el' and `hideshow.el'.) 
 
    To temporarily change the value for an active incremental 
    search, use M-s i.
