Frequently asked questions
Does it support regular expressions?
Yes. Enable ‘Regular expression’ to use patterns like \d+ or capture groups in the replacement (e.g. $1). With it off, your search is treated as literal text.
Can I replace whole words only?
Yes — enable ‘Whole word only’ so that searching ‘cat’ won’t match ‘category’. This applies in literal (non-regex) mode.
Is it case sensitive?
By default no; enable ‘Case sensitive’ to match exact capitalisation.
