<h4>Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Site Migrations – Quickly update URLs or any site data when moving your site.</li>

</ul>
<h4>Tips for Using Search & Replace</h4>
Backup Your Database – While the plugin is safe to use, it’s always a good idea to make a backup before making changes.
Common mistakes to avoid when replacing text:
<ul>
<li>Partial Matches – Ensure that you’re not replacing partial matches that could affect unintended content. For example, replacing “cat” could affect “category” or “concatenate”.</li>
<li>Case Sensitivity – Be mindful of case sensitivity when replacing text. If you’re looking to replace “Cat” with “Dog”, ensure that you’re not affecting “cat” or “CAT”.</li>
<li>URL Replacements – Always use the same format for both the search and replace values. For example if your search term has a trailing slash, ensure that the replacement term also has a trailing slash. E.g., “example.com/” to “example.net/” instead of “example.com/” to “example.net”.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Getting Started</h4>
After installing Search & Replace Everything by WPCode, look for the new menu item under <code>WP Admin > Tools > WP Search & Replace</code>. From there, you can start managing your content and perform find and replace operations for text or images across your entire website.

Better Search Replace

Perfekt

Long time in the past (maybe ~ 7 years ago?), I tried to find a way to search and replace inside WP serialized data.
I found out Better Search and Replace, and I never try another plugin. 
This one is the most reliable for me, thanks!

One of my favorite plugin for years


The plugin was good before, but now it lacks a lot of the functionality.


Good before, not anymore


This really make my life better. For real. Since I found this plugin al my migrations are FLAWLESS. So simple so good. Thanks a lot!!!


So good i cant belive


I was going to try doing some search and replacements, and chose to do the 'dry run' first, but apparently you can't view the results from the dry run, without upgrading to the paid version. This effectively makes it less than useless. I'm not going to run a search/replace on a table unless I can preview what's going to be changed first.


Can't preview 'dry run' changes in free plugin


Here is the thing.



I had changed my blog's domain name and had issues with the images still on the old domain name. So, they were not loading. At all. 



So, I went to ask uncle ChatGPT how to solve the issue. He told me I should try this plugin, and he was even generous enough to give me the instructions. In less than a minute, my issue was resolved. 



5 stars from me.



Thanks. 


Such a Powerful Plugin


I tried updating some data directly through SQL queries, but I kept running into issues—sometimes the data wasn’t updating properly, and other times I got errors that broke parts of my site.



Then I found Better Search Replace, and it worked perfectly. It updated everything smoothly, without any problems.



✅ Easy to use✅ Preview option before making changes✅ Safe and reliable



I highly recommend it—great tool for database updates!
