> There is simply no way to search for newlines with an regexp.

I believe you're misunderstanding... the requested feature is not applying a
regexp to the serialization of LO's representation of the document, but rather
to implement a regexp in a way in which a more complex search (e.g. using XPath
or what-not) would perform a close equivalent of what a regexp application
would in a pure textual document.

Specifically, in your example document, the regexp /Two\nThree/ would find a
match, starting before the T of Two and ending after the Three, on the next
line.

It is up to LO to make this "magic" happen.
