 * It doesn’t seem like this plugin supports that, only in Visual mode. Is this 
   true, or is there a way to do this?

 * Yes, that is true. Most all of the additional buttons offered in this plugin 
   are shown only in the Visual mode of the editor.
 * However, your browser probably has a built-in find and replace. What happens 
   if you press “Ctrl+F” from your browser window? That’s typically how I look for
   something in the Text mode of the editor.
 * Are you looking for something with more control? I don’t think this would be 
   a bad feature to add. I’m sure lots of people search for something on the Text
   mode of the editor. It’s certainly more difficult to find on that side; as opposed
   to the Visual side 😉

 * What I needed to do was find and replace part of a URL so I needed to work in
   Text mode. I wound up copying and pasting each post to Sublime Text 3 and doing
   a find/replace and pasting it back. So I was looking for a plugin that might’ve
   saved me the copying and pasting. Thanks.

 * Understood.
    Thanks for the extra details.
 * I’ll take a look, and see what I can do. But, I like the idea 🙂
