Its not just a regex option, when the multiline option is clear Geany actually searches line by line.

This is also a premature optimization since it can save having to coalesce the Scintilla buffer which can result in moving the entire document in memory if the cursor is near the start of a document. If thats really an issue requires benchmarking, but its likely to only apply to very large documents (and whats large depends on your machine).

As to which should be the default, myeh.
