Not very different since isearch involves outlines:

    (defcustom search-invisible 'open
      "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'.)
