--- Comment #2 from Kåre Särs <kare.s...@iki.fi> ---
Thanks for the report!

I think the problem might be that Kate treats every line as a separate string.
Only if the regular expression includes "\n", the search will search in a copy
of all lines joined into one string with "\n".

It could be interesting to test if this could be fixed  by also treating the
(?s) flags as a trigger to join the lines.

This would have to be checked/fixed both in the KTextEditor search and the Kate
multi-file search plugin 

(this does go into the more advanced regular expressions :)
