Use a match any character set ([\s\S] instead of .) to fix 'contains', 'like', 'startsWith', and 'endsWith' queries to work with multi-line strings.
This is a different way of solving the problem of #220 and #221, and it was recommended by @andyhu as a better way of solving the problem than adding the
