1. Refresh the page or restart chrome before using.
2. The popup will not stay open if you click elsewhere. This is a feature of Chrome.
3. Search and replace terms are remembered between popup closing and opening for the current tab only.
4. `Match Case`, `Regular expressions`, `input fields only` currently not supported in Gmail.
5. Please read the Help page if you are having issues or ask for support.
This extension allows you to search for text anywhere on the page and replace it with different text. The search can take case into consideration and can be limited to input fields only. It could be used to quickly correct a form where the wrong information has been entered multiple times
You can also search using regular expressions. For example, searching for one(one|two) will match either "oneone" or "onetwo". The match that was caught by the parentheses can then be referenced in the replace field as $1. So if we had the text "onetwo", search for one(one|two), and replace with $1, the result is "two" as this is what was matched in the parentheses ()..

Reviews of search and replace:
It does exactly what I need. One powerful feature is the regular expressions capture groups ($1, $2). I did not see it mentioned in the help wiki but it is very useful. Often I find pages with phone numbers like xxx.xxx.xxxx where I need the format xxx-xxx-xxxx. Search and Replace does the trick effortlessly. It would be cool if there was a way to invoke the extension with a shortcut like Alt-R or something to execute the currently specified search and replace. Thanks for a great extension to increase productivity for many!
I wanted something which worked in the gutenberg wordpress editor and this works perfectly! Thank you.
Works for Jenkins! No more painstaking manual replacements. **If you are trying to use this extension on Jenkins, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE "Only change visible content?" ENABLED!** Maybe the developer should have this enabled by default? It seems many people are making that mistake.
