I don't understand how that helps. For example, I want to find all 
TQWhatsThis strings, which often are multiple lines, and ensure I 
am searching the entire string, which includes all the multiple 
lines. About the only thing I know is the search will key on 
something like TQWhatsThis and the entire glob of text to search 
will end with an apostrophe (;). All of that constitutes the entire 
string that must be searched for 'KDE/kde'.
