I was working on a Latex file, and I tried to find occurrences of \newline in MCEdit. All I got was "Search string not found". I tried the same in the internal viewer but this time it did find the occurrences

MC and MCEdit version: 4.8.15

Cannot reproduce on 4.8.19; can you upgrade and if the problem is still there, provide a sample file?

Are you sure the search type is "Normal"? If it's "Regular expression" it'd fail (as the "\n" in "\newline" gets translated to a real newline).

(The editor and the viewer don't share the search settings, so it's possible to have "Normal" in the viewer and "Regular expression" in the editor.)

Hi! Thanks for the help.

It seems after all I had "Regular expression" checked instead of "Normal". Now it works. I thought I had tried both last night but then again it was late and I was tired so probably I did something wrong.
