I am trying to get the IDE Find command to search for blocks of lines whose first line is "'instrumentation" and last is "'end

instrumentation' but it doesn't do it even though I have checked Use Pattern Matching and given "'instrumentation*'end instrumentation"

as the search pattern. What am I doing wrong?
 
Search patterns only work within one line. Your search will only work if 'instrumentation and 'end instrumentation are both on the same line.
 
If * means any character(s) as the documentation says it does it should also include new line characters
