Find patterns in Gvim

Hey,

From trying it myself, it seems that the "find" menu option in Gvim does not allow entering patterns or regular expressions, such as a period to represent any character, or "\n" to represent a newline, but only literal, explicit text matching.

I was curious why this is and if there is any GUI / menu way to search for regular expression patterns or if you must use the Vim text-based command "/" for this.

Thank you very much,
Julius
