When you are entering your search string, type CTRL-q before the non-printing
character you wish to include in the search string.  For instance, the
sequence to search for carriage returns would be:-

	CTRL-s CTRL-q <return> <return>

CTRL-q turns on the quoted character mode for the next character typed.
