What's a good text search and replace program?

What are some good search and replace programs? I'm currently trying Actual Search and Replace, but including special characters into the search is a bit confusing. Is there anyone that will automatically recognize a cut and paste, multiline block of text?

No, one that will search multiple documents. A batch search and replace.
