How to use Find and Replace

  1. Paste the text to update.
  2. Enter the exact phrase to find and its replacement.
  3. Set case or whole-word matching if needed.
  4. Run the replacement and review the match count.

Example

Replace “color” with “colour” in “Color and colorless”; case-insensitive matching changes both occurrences.

Limits and details

  • Matching is literal text matching; regular expressions are not supported.
  • A maximum of 200,000 characters is accepted per run.

Common questions

Can I replace a phrase with nothing?

Yes. Leave Replace with empty to remove matching text.

Does whole-word matching support Unicode?

It uses Unicode letter and number boundaries, so non-English words are handled.
