Reviewing this in OOo 2.3:
I disagree about the summary
VLOOKUP *does* match regular-expressions - with the exception that E\nF does
not find E line_break F.
Note that Find & Replace will indeed find E\nF, but will *not* find E.F or even
E.*F.
As far as I can tell, the regex engine seems to consider OOo text in separate
bits, delineated by paragraph marks and \n in Writer, and by cells and \n in
Calc. It considers these bits one at a time separately, and thus does not
normally see the delineators at all. Then because people want to be able to
manipulate \n and paragraph marks, special cases have been added (eg $ on its
own to match a paragraph mark). This E\nF in a function seems to be a special
case that is not working as intended.
Many people feel the overall OOo regex syntax should be re-thought - and if
that happens then this issue might disappear. So I agree a target OOo later.
