I _think_ there is a TimeOut (SuperFind?) that will find tabs and other 
control characters.

You can also do it with Ultramacros, but it's a little more involved. 
Essentially you have to read every character with <x = peek #curschar> and 
determine if it's a tab or not. Works best if you change the tab marker 
to something unique using AW Companion (maybe SuperPatch too). Don't 
forget that #curschar returns high-ascii, so I think you have to subtract 
128 to get your true ASCII character. Or something like that (just be 
aware that #curschar doesn't work like <read> and that you might have to 
do some adjustment).
