Accept "\n" for newline in "Edit > Find" dialogue.

Searching for newlines requires a different notation in different parts of the product. For example Filters accept the "\n" notation for newline. "Edit > Find" does not.

Find will however work with "\u000A" - the hexadecimal code for Line Feed in ASCII. "\n" is more intuitive and widely used in DXL. Please switch the Find dialogue to accepting \n.

    I would really appreciate it as right now it's pretty inconsistent with respect to the implementation of the regular expressios in DXL and filter dialogue. Moreover it will make possible to delete unwanted line breaks by replacing "\n" by "", as it is possible in several text editors.
