find/replace: provide option for single/multi-line search (perl like)

Thank you for ability to search for \n. However option for single/multi-line is still missing.

In single line, this would match entire document
^.*$
but in multiline it would match each (one by one) line of it. Also (AFAIR) in single line \n is treated also as a . and \s

I actually think the current search/replace modes are complex enough. It already is a maintainance burden and got some long not fixed bugs.
