Frequently asked questions

How do I replace every occurrence?

All matches are replaced at once, and the tool shows how many it changed.

Can I use regular expressions?

Yes — tick 'use regex' to match patterns, and reference capture groups with $1, $2 and so on.

How do I match a whole word only?

Turn on 'whole word only' so partial matches inside longer words are ignored.

Is the search case-sensitive?

By default yes; enable 'case-insensitive' to ignore letter case.

Is my text uploaded to replace it?

No — find and replace runs entirely in your browser.
