I'm working with an html file from Project Gutenberg, and am trying to get rid of many annoying line feeds using Sigil. I need to delete 2 line feeds between "</p>" and "<span". So I use wildcard search, minimal matching, and use

"</p>\r\r<span" or "</p>\n\n<span" or even "</p>\r\n<span" or reverse.

But Sigil finds nothing. I tried the same search in Notepad++ with the same results.

Can anyone clue me in to my mistakes?
