FAQ
Can I use regular expressions?
Yes. Regex mode treats the find field as a JavaScript regular expression and reports invalid patterns inline.
What does whole-word matching do?
In plain mode, whole-word matching wraps the escaped search text in word boundaries so partial words are not replaced.
Is replacement text treated literally?
Yes. The replacement field is inserted as written so dollar signs and backslashes are not interpreted as replacement tokens.
