I think you should try '+' or %20 as space character.

Alternatively if it's possible send a properly formatted HTTP request.

Enclose the text White House in quotation marks. That way, a phrase search is performed. Like so:

_search?q="White House"

By default it's a match search, which looks for any of the words.
