Find Blocks, Patterns & Shortcodes


I have only tested the basic block search functionality, but that works great! Good options; I can imagine the class search, etc, being very helpful.

Search & Replace Text in Blocks


This plugin provides a simple but much-needed feature, and it does exactly what it promises, saving a lot of time when editing content, without unnecessary complexity. 



Sometimes basic functionality like this is surprisingly hard to find, so it’s great to have it available in such a straightforward way. Very useful and appreciated!


Basic functionality done right
