Find & Replace for Text Editing by Blake Altice
Review by Stefan Wrobel
Rated 2 out of 5
by Stefan Wrobel, 5 years agoDoesn't work on Squarespace, which I guess is because they have a fancy editor instead of using text inputs. Regardless, it shows find results, but then won't replace them, which is annoying.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13720335, 20 days agoIt works on basic HTML forms, but whatever Google Ads uses for its negative keyword inputs, it didn't work for that.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 3 months agoAmazing extension! It was the only one that could find text on Pages with frames, iframes and other complex structures (following the instructions in the extension, it just needs a click on the area/field where it's supposed to perform the search to work).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13513062, 7 months agoUnfortunately it does not work. It finds all instances of a word in a form, but does not replace them.
- Rated 1 out of 5by danbladan, 8 months agoThis is probably my first review on addons, I don't remember if I did one before. DO NOT USE this garbage, it's broken and instead replacing one character with another it replaces entire paragraphs with others, causing me to lose almost an hour of work; I somehow managed to work around it and save it undo-ing hundreds of times and even now I'm not sure if the article is okay, I guess I have to re-read it again!
- Rated 4 out of 5by codaroma, 8 months agoWorks well mostly, except on some websites it mangles the styling of some text input boxes so much that they become almost unusable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12810746, a year agoWorks very good in my Firefox (v.122), working in a MediaWiki envirionment.
Problem: Icon does not show in the toolbar.
Request: I would like to have the add-in window stay open, this would save a lot of key clicks. - Rated 2 out of 5by spiercy16, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by insevin, 2 years agoIt doesn't work. If the page said, "the cat is black" then I could type in find "cat" and it would say no results. Utterly useless.

- Rated 5 out of 5by timtak, 4 years agoVery good. It has regex. It can edit text in text editors or blog comment areas, or any other text that one can edit with ones keyboard (and certainly NOT only Google Translate, as claimed by another reviewer). The Regex is full on and e.g. /[0-9]*/ will find and replace a string of numbers between slashes. I was about to make a donation when I see that the management area of the app and above says that the creator was Blake Altice whereas the donation link links to the Paypal of a Dalimil Hajek in Edinburgh. My guess is that the former created it and the latter now keeps it going. And the next day the contribute links to "Imperium Strategy"! What is going on?
I wish that there were a short cut key for replace as well as to open the search and replace window, and that there were an option to keep the search and replace window open. - Rated 5 out of 5by NJ, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by David Bolton, 4 years agoEverything I needed in a Find and Replace tool for the web.
- Rated 3 out of 5by djman, 4 years agoUseful but ended up uninstalling as it adds a right-click menu option that can't be removed

- Rated 3 out of 5by eUROs, 5 years agoAlthough that I this is a very interesting extension and can be a time saver to many text writing users on the web, I gave only 3 stars because it can ONLY replace text and symbols in the text box of "Google translate" website only. It doesn't work on any other website, or Addon/extension which have full/or pop up text page input window. Fix this problem (to be able to replace text everywhere), and I will give 5 stars on my rating.
