### Search

Regular expression searches in a document text are limited to single lines, unless the search pattern includes newline. For example, pattern ".*" will match every line in the document, pattern ".*\n.*" will match pairs of consecutive lines. This means that it is mostly impossible to perform searches for text which spawns multiple lines.
