How do I find and replace text online? +
Paste your text into the input box, enter the word or phrase you want to find in the Find field, enter the replacement in the Replace field, then click Replace Now. You can also add multiple find-replace rules using the Bulk Rules tab to make several replacements at once.
Does this tool support regular expressions (regex)? +
Yes. Enable the Regex mode toggle to use regular expression patterns in the Find field. For example, use \d+ to match any number, or https?://\S+ to match URLs. The Replace field supports backreferences like $1 for captured groups when regex mode is active.
Can I replace multiple different words at once? +
Yes. Use the Bulk Rules tab to add multiple find-replace pairs. Each rule is applied in sequence. This is perfect for converting American English to British English, doing template variable substitution, or cleaning up data exports with multiple patterns to fix.
What is whole word matching? +
Whole word matching ensures only complete words are replaced, not partial matches. For example, searching for "cat" with whole word enabled will match "cat" but not "catalog" or "scat". This prevents unintended replacements when your search term appears as part of a longer word.
