[^\s]\+ matches everything except "\" and "s"
Might make sense if "\s" was not special (?magic)
I would think it should match all non-whitespace
I tried the following thinking it was my .vimrc, but same result.
vim -N -i NONE -u NONE
I have not found any reference that "\s" cannot be used within [...]
similar to "\t"
Is this a bug? or feature?

In addition to all the wise answers you already got, note that to search
for one or more non-space non-tabs non-linebreaks (in short, a WORD),
you should normally use \S\+ which, according to the note at the bottom
of the list at ":help whitespace", is faster than using a [] collection.
Similarly, to search for one or more spaces, tabs and/or linebreaks, (a
WORD separator of the kind HTML compresses to one space) you would use
\_s\+ (which is also faster than the equivalent \_[ \t]\+ ).
Best regards,
Tony.
