Allows searching and replacing text in pages and posts, works great Would be better if the replacement could be blank so you could remove unwanted text as well. Should be a part of the core editor in wordpress.

Just what I was looking for. Just a few problems... first, even with the "case sensitive search & replace" checkbox deselected, it is still case sensitive when searching. Second, if I have modified text in the editor and haven't yet saved the changes, and then use the Search and Replace function, it will revert my edits. Also, if I save the page after using the plugin to search, when words are highlighted, it actually saves the highlights to the frontend of the site.
