What does the Find & Replace tool do?
Bulk text edits without opening an editor: swap a name across a document, fix a repeated typo, rewrite URLs in an export.
Plain-text mode escapes everything for you; regex mode unlocks patterns and capture groups ($1) for structural rewrites.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to escape dots in plain mode?
No: plain mode treats your input literally. Only regex mode interprets special characters.
Can I use capture groups?
Yes: in regex mode, $1, $2… in the replacement reference captured groups: find (\d+)-(\d+), replace $2-$1.
How do I replace line breaks?
Regex mode: find \n (or \r?\n for Windows text).
Is my text uploaded?
No: replacement runs locally.
