Find/Replace in Files: Inconsistent with basic Find/Replace

I am finding that using the same regular expression for Find/Replace (on a single file) and Find/Replace in Files (across multiple files) does not return consistent results.

For example, finding multiple white spaces
Regular expression is \s\s+
Using Find/Replace ignores any line returns and grabs white space across lines.
Using Find/Replace in Files stops at a line return and just grabs white space to the end of the line.

Hello,

This is a known limitation, Find/Replace in Files searches one line at a time, so you cannot obtain search matches that span over multiple lines.
We do plan to resolve this limitation in a future version of Oxygen. I've added your vote for this.
