Functionally, the LibreOffice regular expression for paragraph mark is "$"

Wrong syntax. Reverse the position of the "$" paragraph end.

Attaching a sample document, use these find strings with Regular expressions
enabled:

"Reset Value: $"

".*Reset Value: $"

"Reset Value: \n"

".*Reset Value: \n"

Convince yourself then close this as INVALID as that is what it is ;-)
