Search for this text¶

Here you can input the text for which you would like to search. You must be very careful about what text you search for. If you input “car”, then words such as “carnivore” and “cartoon” will also be matched. If you want to make sure you match only the word “car” then you must place spaces on each side of the term, like ” car “. In those cases you need to make sure that your replacement term also contains the spaces in a similar fashion or else you won’t get the results you expect.

Replace with this text¶

Here you specify what text you would like to replace the text for which you are searching. Be sure that the syntax you uses matches the “search” text. For instance, if your search text is for a specific word or phrase and uses spaces on either side of the search term, then your replacement text also needs to include those spaces on either side so that the resulting text has the correct format.
