Not true  (if you are talking about find and replace searching).

Enable multiline searching using (?m)
 the pattern  "(?m)get.*Kend" will find one match in the following example
text (hit cntrl-cmd-E to open this email in textmate and then select the
pattern and hit cmd-E to try it out

Papers to get
    Newton Morton (Southhampton high IQ geneticist)
    Eaves et al. 2005
    Kendler (and Eaves?) 2005
        Extended phenotype


I like this help page for Oniguruma

Other powerful underused options are:
    (?i) = ignore case (?#greatly simplifies reg ex for words where caps
vary)
    (?# oh yes # allows comments ­ very handy when writing bundles you want
to be more explanatory:-)
