This has got to be obvious but I missed it.
In search and replace how do you search for tab, newline, new paragraph, etc.
It would be something like ^p in msword ?
Paragraph mark

For a paragraph, simply switch to multiline view, press Enter in the 'Search for' box, and put whatever you need in the 'Replace with' box.
For a tab, you have to have 'Convert tabs to spaces' turned off in preferences. Simply highlight a tab, then open the 'Search/Replace' dialog, and it will place a tab (well, a square character) in the 'Search for' box for you.
Alternatively, again go into Multiline mode and press CTRL & TAB. This will actually indent a couple of spaces, but will be a tab.

Paragraph
What I would like to do is convert
aaaa
zzzz
to
aaaa zzzz
So I went to multi-line and pressed <enter>
Then went to replace with and pressed <space>
It went to the paragraph mark OK, but it didn't replace the paragraph mark with a space but rather just added the space, so I ended up with:
aaaa
zzzz
Any ideas?

What version of what application are you using?
I've just done a Flash demo of this, but because the search/replace text boxes look empty, it looks like a waste of time.
If you enter the blank line in the 'search for' box, I presume its actually finding it ok? You may also need to change the origin to 'Entire scope' rather than just 'From cursor'.
