You must refresh the page or restart chrome before using. 2. The popup will not stay open if you click elsewhere. This is a feature of Chrome.

All I wanted was to erase every instance of ❏❏ in a quizlet and after it did what it was supposed to do the moment I pressed saved all of my progress was gone. Doesn't actually edit or replace anything.

It no longer works. I once used it to transliterate Belarusian from Cyrillic into Latin, but when I used it to try to transliterate Kazakh from Cyrillic into Latin, it doesn't work properly. I can't edit the HTML in the settings. Search and Replace is on Version is 2.0.8 The webpage isn't a problem. It works fine, but I can't edit the HTML in the settings page. It might be an error in the code for editing HTML?

Before Updates of this extension it is working really well. But now Its causing issue we cant replace text within a Single site with multiple page (like if i have to replace a keyword, it only change in that form not in the other forms). SO for feeling worst experience as People Upgrades app with more flexible features but you are downgrading your extension.

Doesn't work in WordPress editor (yes, I know there's a video floating around of it working in WordPress, but it doesn't work out of the box).

Used it once, erased all my code. I'm not going to browse the doc and ask for support for such a basic function.

It replaces parts of words, for example: Replacing he with she, it would replace father with fatsher. This addon is useless.

Doesn't work. Tried it on critterdb.com with "Input fields only?" checked, and while it "looked" like it replaced the text in the input fields, those changes weren't actually reflected anywhere. It is, therefore, worthless. That particular site has a live preview of changes to the input fields and it shows that there are no changes. Saving results in none of the "changes" being saved. Add-on needs to do some kind of action to actually edit the field so it's recognized as having been edited or something. The add-on clearing all input fields if it's attempted to be used without "input fields only?" checked is also a real problem that shouldn't ever exist.

Does not work with Text Area, sometimes works with text fields, usually crashes and clears all fields instead of replacing the values.

Rubbish just will not work plus the pop-up doesn't resize properly meaning the tick boxes are not displayed...

Tried several times to use this with Oasis Sandstorm for text editing. It ended up erasing / collapsing everything typed on the page. I'm removing it now. However, I wish the developer luck as no one has made a good find and replace for browsers yet.

Don't know what it did in my online notes app, but it completely wiped the note that I was editing. (Fortunately I had a backup.)

Find and replace doesn't work. The text you want to replace will be just "masked" but nothing really was replaced. Tried changing some, the text was "gone" but when you put focus on that form, the text remains (tried it on Facebook)

I am very disappointed with this. Even the "Replace Next" button replaces not one but ALL occurrences of the entered word in ALL fields and tabs, including those where it isn't supposed to do anything. Without a "Skip" function, this is absolutely useless. Uninstalling.

can't set up rules and save them? You have to manually type in the replacement words every single time. It's not saving me any effort. Not useful.

If it doesn't mangle the entire document, count your lucky stars.
