Examples
This is probably too arcane, but here's a discussion on the black art of finding octal, decimal, & hexadecimal numbers in Writer http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=66319
Octal \<0[0-7]*\> Decimal \<[1-9][0-9]*\> Hex \<0x[A-Fa-f0-9]+\>
Workarounds
In at least some versions of Linux it is possible to use unicode input to directly type a newline (line feed / soft line break/ U+000A) in the "Replace with" input box. There are no reports so far of this working on any other OS.

This means that for some people it is possible to insert a newline using Find & Replace.
