<ul dir="auto">
<li>VSCode Version: 1.1.1</li>
<li>OS Version: Windows 7 Professional x64</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Create a document with multiple lines</li>
<li>Search for <code class="notranslate">\n</code>, <code class="notranslate">\r</code> or <code class="notranslate">\r\n</code> in regex mode.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">What happens: When I try to search a multi-line text for <code class="notranslate">\n</code>, <code class="notranslate">\r</code> or <code class="notranslate">\r\n</code> in regex mode it doesn't find any results. However when I try to search for the same thing in Atom or Sublime, it finds results.</p>
