It already does. To insert a newline into the search string, you must quote it with C-q; so to look for the line in your posting that ends with ``incremental'' and is followed by a line beginning with ``string'', you might type C-s t a l C-q C-j s t r Notice that newlines in files on UNIX systems are represented by the C-j character, so that's what you have to put in your search string.
