There are no paragraphs in a text file, only carriage-return/linefeeds
(CrLf).

There _are_ tabs, though.  The trouble is there's no way to type the tab
character in the Find box.  So here's what you do.

Go to a blank part of your text file.  Key a tab.  Press Shift+LeftCursor
to highlight the otherwise invisible tab character.  Ctrl+C to copy. 
Ctrl+F to open the Find dialog.  Ctrl-V to paste the invisible tab
character in the box.  Click `Find Next`.

You _should_ be able to do this with a pair of invisible CrLfs, too, but
the Find dialog won't accept multi-line input.  Other text editors will. 
For Windows, I know that HTML-Kit does.
