Update of bug #28237 (project findutils):
Status: Need Info => Invalid
Assigned to: None => jay

Follow-up Comment #5:
The first sentence of the description of the egrep regular expresison type
says:
@node egrep regular expression syntax
@subsection @samp{egrep} regular expression syntax
The character @samp{.} matches any single character except newline.
Here the . just isn't matching the newline. You might want to try
"-regextype posix-extended".
~/tmp/t$ find . -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*new.*' -print0 | od -c
0000000 . / n e w n l i n e
0000013
~/tmp/t$ find . -regextype egrep -regex '.*new.*' -print0 | od -c
0000000
