Hi,
I'm trying to find all occurences of:
''LTS+/\r&
''IGNORED\r&

I use the following regex:

''LTS\+/\\r&[\r\n].*''IGNORED.*[\r\n]

which seems to work in sublime text, for instance.
On VSCode, it only returns one hit.

Steps to Reproduce:

Our text search in general only works line-by-line at the moment

Oh, well. At least I know why it isn't working :)
👍 for the feature request.

Atom does not have multi-line regex searching atm it seems: atom/find-and-replace#303

But I wouldn't mind seeing it implemented. I personally don't care for line breaks in the middle of code but I could see it being useful for others.

Actually there is an existing feature request for this: #13155

@danwulff I don't know if it still isn't supposed to have multiline regex, but I have gotten it to work. Here is where I posted about it with explanation and screen shots:
