Search text blocks (textarea search field)
EmEditor is probably the best editor I ever saw, but it seriously lacks one simple feature - text block search. Right now you can only search for one string, but in some cases you have to find a formatted text block like this:

<p>
<span>Some text</span>
</p>

For example, CuteFTP integrated editor has it and it's quite handy. Would be great if you add this feature to EmEditor.

You can resize the Find dialog box to enter multi-line text. Alternatively, you can use \n as a new line with "Use Escape Sequences". Thanks!
