Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are times when I want to do multi-line search/replace in Postman. It's very frustrating that I can't do this in the postman app, when every modern text editor has this support.

For example, if I have the same function pasted into multiple pre-request tests, but I need to update that function, I have to copy those lines of code and paste them everywhere I need to replace. It's prone to causing errors, because I could forget one pre-request, or could accidentally paste over the wrong section of code.

This also would allow me to avoid adding every shared function to my environments, as I can easily find/update them all in mass.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to do multi-line search/replace.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I know it is currently possible to export my collections and edit them in a text editor like notepad++ or atom, or in an IDE like vs code, but it pulls me away from working in postman.
