[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Find regex multi-line does not work (#1165)

[elextr]

As [documented](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-regex-syntax.html) dot does not match line ends by default, and in the "Internal Option Setting" section it is documented that `multiline` and `dotall` are separate options.  If you set `dotall` by `(?s)qui.*?dolorem` you get two matches, though not the ones you seem to expect :)

The `\s` matches some line end characters so it will find the examples you seek.
