Questions
What does “Whole words only” do?
It matches the word on its own, not inside longer words. Replacing “cat” with it on leaves “concatenate” alone. It works for letters in any language.
Can I use a regular expression?
Yes: turn on “Regular expression”. JavaScript syntax applies, and the replacement can use $1 or $<name> for captured groups. Patterns that would run for ever are stopped after 1.5 seconds instead of freezing the page. The regex tester helps build and check a pattern first.
Are special characters like $ or . a problem in plain mode?
No. In plain mode nothing is special: a dot is a dot and a dollar sign is inserted exactly as typed.
How do I delete a word everywhere?
Leave “Replace with” empty. Every match is removed.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
