Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
1, type Ctrl-F to Find
2, type '\n' or '\r?\n'
That should find the line break of the buffer instead of 'no matches found',
Replace or Replace with '\n' also not work.
Currently It seems there is no way to insert newline with replace.
Tested with micro 2.0.4 and git master.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem through Ctrl-F in micro, testing both searching for and replacing with '\n' and '\r?\n'. Trace the find and replace entry points to determine how line breaks are handled. Done means searches can match buffer line breaks and replacement can insert them.
