Replacing tabs with returns

Is there a way in Pages for Mac to search for tabs in a document and replace them with paragraph returns? I've figure out how to search for tabs, but replacing with a return has me stumped.

Mac mini, OS X 10.11

Tabs are represented by \t in the Find/Replace tool, and paragraphs are represented by the newline \n character.
