What the Find and Replace Text does
Paste your text, type what to find and what to replace it with, and every occurrence updates at once. Change 'colour' to 'color' 47 times in a second — with a count of how many replacements were made.
Case-sensitive matching is available when 'Apple' the company must not become 'apple' the fruit.
Why the Find and Replace Text is useful
Renaming a variable, fixing a repeated typo, updating a product name across a document — these jobs are too big for manual editing and too small for opening a word processor's find dialog.
Running it in the browser means contracts, manuscripts and private documents stay on your machine.
Also known as: find and replace, bulk replace text, free find and replace text, online find and replace text, find and replace text online free, find and replace text tool, best find and replace text tool.
