You have to quote the newline, this means type C-q C-y

Subject: [Simple] Regular Expression search

Hello all,

How do you find blank lines  or carriage returns/new lines using 
regular expressions.  When I type \n it selects all the n characters in 
the page.  I need it to look for special characters.  I can search for 
tabs by hitting the tab key but not by using \t as a shell based 
regular expression allows.

I looked in the man pages, GNU Emacs Pocket Reference and Learning GNU 
Emacs and probably missed it somewhere.

Thanks,

Robert Pollard
