For technical reasons, and because although I started some work for line-based RE support, I didn't finish it (yet).
If you're interested in the technical reason, it's quite simple: we use a multiline-capable regex engine and we pass it a pointer to the whole buffer instead of feeding it line-by line -- hence allowing it to perform multi-line matches.
And thats the right thing to do IM(NS)HO.
Not really, but it's for sure a useful feature, yet it can be annoying at times.
To be clear, I never wanted to remove multi-line regex support, just add an option for single-line ones.
