 * Hi there
 * I am new to your plugin. I have made one change with it and it worked. Then I
   changed the URL, since it was an interim URL and the initial change I made was
   back to the pre-change.
 * When I tried to do it again it gives me this message: Search pattern not found.
 * Not sure what that means.
 * Please assist.

 * hi, be sure that you have revert the replacements on the database.
    If the Plugin
   says “Search pattern not found.” then is there no Pattern 😉

 * I get the same message when I ask and I get a download copy of sql database: 
   which means, in this case? the copy obtained is still correct or that indicates
   another kind of error? thank you
