And it should not. As described on the "List of Regular Expressions" help page
[1], \n in the "Find" box matches *line break that was inserted with the
Shift+Enter key combination*.

By the way, it (and any other regular expressions) only work when relevant
option is selected in the dialog/toolbar.

To search for paragraph end, use $ as the search term (again, using regular
expressions).
