About Find & Replace

Find & Replace searches your text for a word, phrase or pattern and swaps every occurrence with your replacement. It supports plain-text matching and full regular-expression mode for pattern-based replacements, with a case-insensitive option and a live match counter so you know exactly how many hits will change.

A live preview highlights every match in the text before you commit, which makes it easy to verify a regex before applying it — and the tool warns you if the expression is invalid. Once applied, the result is ready to copy in one click.

It is a quick alternative to opening a code editor when you need bulk replacements in notes, lists or copied data. Everything runs in your browser; your text is never uploaded, and the tool is free.

How to use Find & Replace

  1. Paste the text you want to search.
  2. Type what to find and what to replace it with.
  3. Optionally enable regex mode for patterns, and “Ignore case” for case-insensitive matching.
  4. Check the highlighted matches and the match count in the live preview.
  5. Click “Apply replace” and copy the result.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Switch on regex mode to find patterns instead of literal text — for example \d+ to match any number. Invalid expressions are flagged immediately, and the live preview shows exactly what a pattern matches before you apply it.

Yes. With highlighting enabled, every match lights up in the live preview and a counter shows the total, so you can confirm the find term or pattern hits exactly what you expect before clicking apply.

Turn on the “Ignore case” option. The search then matches all capitalizations of your find term — “Fox”, “fox” and “FOX” are all replaced in one pass.

Yes — leave the replacement field empty and every match is removed. Combined with regex mode, that is a fast way to strip numbers, tags or repeated fragments from a text.

No. Searching and replacing run entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded. The tool is free with no sign-up.
