Use a RegEx search:
In the Find Dialog – Expand “Find Options”
Check the box for Use: Regular Expressions
Next to the search box there is now an arrow that is active, it will show you available RegEx options/values.
The value you want will be \n. So “SearchValue\n” should do it.
Be aware that that its not a standard RegEx that you use, it’s VS specific.
Replace can also use the RegEx values.
