What is this tool

This find & replace tool searches your text with case and whole-word options, highlights matches, and lets you replace the first or all occurrences while preserving spacing and line breaks.

Whole-word matching avoids partial hits (e.g., "cat" won’t touch "category"), and case sensitivity matches exact casing when enabled.

Use cases

  • Update product names, job titles, or terminology across drafts.
  • Fix repeated phrases or filler text quickly.
  • Normalize formatting or delimiters without breaking line breaks.
  • Swap brand mentions, URLs, or CTA copy in one pass.
  • Clean codes, IDs, or tags in plain text before importing.

Client-side only: nothing is uploaded; faster and private.

FAQ

Is this free?

Yes. It runs in your browser and is free to use.

Do you upload my text?

No. Everything stays client-side; nothing is sent to servers.

How does whole-word matching work?

Whole-word adds word boundaries so only complete words are matched, not partial substrings inside other words.

Can I replace just one occurrence?

Yes. Use Replace first to change only the first match with the current options.

Does it keep line breaks?

Yes. Line breaks and spacing are preserved during find/replace.

Can I use regular expressions?

This tool focuses on safe text search. Use Regex Tester for regex-specific needs.
