When the "\n" (without quotes) escape character is used in the search and/or
search/replace dialogs it does not find the next paragraph's end.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a document with several paragraphs in it
2.Open Find (Ctrl-F) or Search/Replace (Ctrl-H)
3.Enter "\n" (without quotes) to search for a paragraph end
4.Press the "Find" button

Actual Results:
The Search and Replace dialog gives an error stating: "Search key not found"

Expected Results:

cursor position.
