 * Because I have installed/uninstalled this plugin a few times (trying to keep 
   my site streamlined) I have multiple Search & Replace links in my tools panel
   because the plugin auto generates a new link each time it is installed. Not a
   big problem, but you should know.

 * Hi Pedro.
 * You mean the link inside the menu of WP admin area, the link in Tools to the 
   page of Search/Replace?

 * May be a cache issue?
 * Try to clean the cache and check if the issue persists.
 * If you have plugins that work with WordPress admin menu or in admin context in
   general, deactivate them temporary and check if the issue persists.
 * Please, before deactivating the plugins make a backup of the site and database,
   just to prevent problems.

 * Guido, you were on the right track. Turns out this is an issue with Admin Menu
   Editor plugin. With the AME plugin activated, I have 5 links to S&R. With AME
   deactivated, just one.
