Let's say I have file with 2 lines, whose contents are

word3 word4

Now I want to treat new line character as a space character just for searching 
purposes. So that I can search for "word2 word3" and a match will be found.

Is this possible? Any extensions which do this
You could use

/word2\_s\+word3

This will search for word2 followed by one or more whitespace or 
end-of-line characters followed by word3.

See :help /\_
