Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

- Case sensitive: When enabled, the search will match exact letter case (e.g., "Hello" won't match "hello")
- Match whole words only: Only matches complete words (e.g., searching for "cat" won't match "category")
- Use regular expression: Enables regex pattern matching for advanced search and replace operations
To use regex:
- Enable the "Use regular expression" option
- Enter your regex pattern in the "Find" field
- Use regex syntax in the "Replace with" field if needed
Common regex examples:
\d+- Match one or more digits\b\w+\b- Match whole words[A-Z]\w+- Match words starting with capital letters
- Maximum text length is 50,000 characters
- Complex regex patterns may take longer to process
- The tool works best with plain text content
- Changes cannot be undone after applying (use Preview first)
- Always use the "Preview Changes" button before applying replacements
- Back up your text before making major changes
- For case-sensitive replacements, double-check your capitalization
- Test regex patterns on a small sample first
- Use the "Match whole words" option to avoid unintended replacements
Common issues and solutions:
- Check if case sensitivity is enabled/disabled as needed
- Verify if "Match whole words" is affecting your search
- For regex, ensure your pattern is correctly formatted
- Look for hidden characters or spaces in your search text
- Try simplifying your search terms if using complex patterns
