    Search for this:

    (\W)Edit(\W)(.*)(hit shift enter here to insert a return)
    Code (markup):
    Replace with nothing.

    And this:

    See:(.*)(hit shift enter here to insert a return)
    Code (markup):
    Replace with nothing.

    These searches will completely delete the line, there will be no blank line since you hit shift+enter at the end to insert a return. I tested it with:

    [Edit] blah blah
    [Edit] lol
    lol ok

    And it replaced to

    lol ok

    Make sure you check "Use regular expressions" and "Search in source code"...can't tell you how many times I've forgotten that. Good idea to save the expression for later, too.

    As for searching for blank lines, I'm not sure.
