Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The find and replace happens entirely in your browser and your text is never sent to a server.
Does it replace every match?
Yes, every match is replaced at once. Leave the Replace box empty to delete each match instead of swapping it.
What does Whole word only do?
It matches your text only when it stands alone as a word, so finding cat will not match inside category or located.
Can I use regular expressions?
Yes. Turn on Use regular expression to search with patterns, and use $1, $2 and so on in the replacement to insert captured groups. Invalid patterns show a clear message.
Will it change my original text?
No. Your text on the left stays as you typed it; the result appears on the right for you to copy or download.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed limit, though very large text or complex patterns are processed in your browser and may be slower on an older device.
