--- Comment #4 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
It was never possible to search for multiple empty paragraphs with ^$^$
One empty paragraph can be matched with ^$, which anchors an otherwise empty
expression to start and end, and is explicitly handled in Writer
sw/source/core/crsr/findtxt.cxx FindTextImpl() with bool bChkEmptyPara = ...
used in the DoSearch() call.

You'll probably also find no regular expression engine that would support
^$^$^([:digit:]+)$^$^$
in the here intended way. Try at https://regex101.com/

The \n also never matched an end of paragraph, but a newline entered with
Shift+Enter, and still does.
See https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/01/02100001.html for
details.
