[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Multi-line matching with regular expression should be default (#1588)

[elextr]

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.
