You may not need Search & Replace at all.

If the beginning of each post can be identified consistently, the most 
robust Writer approach is probably:

apply a dedicated paragraph style to the post title/opening paragraph
edit that style:
Format -> Paragraph -> Text Flow
enable "Insert page break before"

Then every post automatically starts on a new page without inserting 
manual page breaks throughout the document.
