Find and replace — how it compares to Word

Find and replace for any plain text

Microsoft Word’s Find and Replace (Ctrl+H) is built for .docx files. This tool applies the same logic to any pasted string — reports, emails, JSON, CSV, or code. Use it when you need a quick find and replace pass without opening a desktop app.

Find and replace in Word — paste workflow

Copy your document from Word, paste it here, run replacements, then copy the result back. That mirrors find and replace in word for bulk name changes, typos, or template placeholders — especially when you only have web access or want a private in-browser step before sharing.

Find and replace words in word-style options

Match case and whole words behave like Word’s dialog. Combine them to find and replace words in word documents more precisely — for example replacing a product code without touching similar substrings inside longer tokens.

Word search replace — private by design

Whether you call it word search replace or find replace in word, your content stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded — ideal for contracts, internal memos, and client drafts.

Common questions

Find and replace FAQ

Using this tool like Word’s search and replace dialog.

Is this the same as find and replace in Word?

It works the same way for plain text: you enter what to find, what to replace it with, and get an updated document. Paste from Word (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C), run your replacements here, then paste back. No .docx editing — only text.

Can I replace every occurrence at once?

Yes. “Replace all” is on by default. Turn it off to change only the first match — useful when you want to review each change manually.

What does “Match whole words only” do?

It adds word boundaries so “cat” does not match “category”. Similar to Word’s “whole words only” option in the Find dialog.

Does case-sensitive search work like Word?

When enabled, “Hello” and “hello” are different. When disabled, casing is ignored — the same as turning off “Match case” in Word.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Find and replace runs entirely in your browser. Paste from Word, Google Docs, or code editors without sending data to a server.

Why did nothing change?

Usually the find string does not appear in your text, or whole-word mode blocks partial matches. Try turning off whole words or match case, or check for extra spaces and line breaks.
