Summary: Find/Replace with Multi-line Text

Initial Comment:
It would be nice for the find/replace fields to support 
text that consists of multiple lines. One example that I 
ran into was taking an abstract file with some abstract 
methods in it ending in semicolons and copy-and-pasting 
the methods into a concrete subclass. I wanted to 
replace those particular semicolons with 
{
}
but this is currently not possible. 

We could at least process escape characters such as \n.
