sed.. Add new line after finding text

I know that this my be really simple, but I'm having a hard time accomplishing it. I am trying to add a new line of text after finding a particular string of text in a file. Here's what I'm getting:

Code:

sed: command garbled: N/search_string/\\new_text/

I was using "N" to add a line after the text. TIA.
