Because \t is a literal t in a standard regular expression. vim uses a
different regular expression library that interprets it as a tab. If
you want to search for a tab, you can just use a literal tab in the
search string. In the past, I've needed to prefix it with ^v, but that
doesn't seem to be necessary on any of the systems I have in front of
me right now.
