You will want to use $ instead of \n. I'm seeing some other strange things though:

If I do a similar search,

The error callstack is:

Firstly, multiline search is not supported yet for Search - See #13155. Issuse mentioned in the description needs multi line support.

Issue mentioned in first comment is also related to multi line search. But it should not break the way it is now and has to be fixed to the current support. I would move that into a separate issue #20311 and fix it.
