 * I tried 2 different plugins for just replacing an email address and no one is
   working, including this one.
 * I’m trying to replace “info@mydomain.com” with “hello@mydomain.com”.
 * Error:
 * “_Your search contains your current site url. Replacing your site url will most
   likely cause your site to break. If you want to change the URL (and you know 
   what you doing), please use the export function and make sure you backup your
   database before reimporting the changed SQL._”
 * Ok, dude. I’m not replacing my site URL. Just an email address.
 * After this, I’m trying a “trick” like replacing “info@mydomain” with “hello@mydomain”(
   it shouldn’t be as this, but doesn’t care).
 * Select ALL tables.
 * Deactivating “Dry run”.
 * Select “Save changes to Database”.
 * I enter on my widgets area and there is no changes applied to this query on the
   text widgets :-S

 * Instead of trying to replace the entire address, couldn’t you try to replace 
   info@ with hello@, leaving the domain name off?
