The problem is, that there is no possibility to use newline options within regular expressions doing insource searches using Special:Search. Maybe it's forgotten when programming the regex machine.
Solution: You can use the escape sequence "\n" doing a search with newline within regular expression.
It's useful to find and then repair LINT errors and making other corrections that go beyond one source code line.
Thanks a lot,

Example:
insource:/foo bar\ncode red/
should find in the source code
foo bar code red
