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.
