Is there any way to search for the text contained in the clipboard?

Hello you folks,
AFAYK, Is there any way to search for the text contained in the clipboard?
A simple paste won’t work if the clipboard contains text splitted on multiple lines
In another (overbloated) text editor you enter ^c to search for the current content of the clipboard, is there something similar for our beloved Notepad++?
Thanks,

It’s a bit of a chore, but you can do this:
-
paste the clipboard data into a (scratch) tab
-
select the multiline data in that scratch tab
-
press Ctrl+f
-
switch the active tab back to the one you want to search in
Multiline data is now in the Find what box.
This assumes default Notepad++ settings where Ctrl+f is set up to auto-fill the Find what box with selected data.
