Review Summary
Users generally find the 'Find and replace' extension useful and effective for quick find-and-replace tasks, helping boost productivity especially in web apps without native support. However, many report significant limitations such as inability to modify core form data (changes often appear visual only), input clearing on focus loss, buggy regex support, and insufficient functionality for selective replacements or deletions. Despite these drawbacks, users praise its simplicity, multilingual support, and responsiveness of the developer in addressing bugs.
Pros
- Effectively performs find and replace functions in many scenarios, especially useful on cloud apps without built-in search/replace functionality.
- Simple to use with powerful features like combining multiple rules into groups to increase productivity.
- Supports multiple languages and can be used across various platforms and editors.
- Developer appears responsive to bug reports and actively fixes issues.
- Works well in replacing display text, providing a visual preview of changes.
Cons
- Does not actually replace core data in inputs or forms like Google Forms; changes revert after saving or refreshing.
- Input fields are cleared when clicking outside the extension, which disrupts workflow.
- Bugs with regex features such as removal of lines, spaces, and partial execution of 'run all' function.
- Does not support replacing text with blanks (deletions) in certain cases.
- Issues with handling multiple similar values selectively; lacks fine-grained control on which instances to replace.
