I don't think you need the +. Just
/word2\_s\word3
is enough...

Let's say I have file with 2 lines, whose contents are
word1 word2
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 /\_
