Multiline search/replace

Apologies if this is an obvious question, but the answer isn't apparent from the online docs:
I switch back and forth between Mac and Windows regularly, and am evaluating jEdit as a replacement for HTMLKit & BBEdit so I don't have to remember two sets of preferences, shortcuts, etc.
One of the features both ot those apps have is multi-line input for find/replace. That is, a largeish text box that allows one to input multiple lines of text for both the search and replacement strings. jEdit doesn't seem to offer this feature. In fact, from the documentation (and my experimentation), it doesn't seem jEdit allows one to search for a multi-line string at all.
Am I missing something, or does jEdit really not handle multi-line replacements?
TIA
