Is it possible for me to include tabs and line breaks in my search string in
the VS2005 IDE?

In UltraEdit, for example, I can search for "^p^tHello^p", which will match
a line-break, then a tab, then the word "Hello" and then another line break.
Can I do this in VS2005 (without using Regular Expressions)?

Thanks,

AFAIK, you need to use regular expressions...
