Illustrator can recognize a lot of special characters, even soft returns (^n), but it cannot recognize hard returns in the search/replace fields.  I can do this type of search/replace in other Adobe Apps, but not Illustrator.  Its typically (^p) in other apps.  This would be super helpful for us and seems like an oversight)  Hopefully an easy fix.

If you select in Type > show hidden characters you can copy the  return symbol and paste it in the search field.
