• This plugin does a great job when you just want to find and replace text across your site. The interface is clear, the regex support works well, and the preview feature is very useful.

    However, the “Delete Matches” action is misleading—and potentially disastrous. I expected it to remove only the matched text, but it actually deletes the entire record (and even associated attachments) whenever it finds a match. There’s no clear warning that you’ll lose whole posts and media files. Use with extreme caution, or stick to the replace functionality only.
