It's so basic that you assume that it already exists until you actually need it and you don't have it.

Spent the entire day uploading my novels in two separate series, only to discover, as I begin to edit, that there is no Find & Replace. Everyone a Founder/Dev/Genius. And we in the real world continue to suffer.

Nice also to see that this feature request is from 2023, and I'm leaving this commment in 2026.

Global Find/Replace -- urgent!

That's a very good idea. And one more voice for universal search and replace, both in text and in the code, as well as reasonable quotation marks (ideally: guillemets) - and not as an AI function (rephrase), but completely alkaline as in every word processor since the beginning of time (almost) ;-) Thank you!

NovelCrafter is a high-end tool, but without Global Find/Replace, it’s like a Cadillac without power windows. Manual updates across scenes are a source of technical errors and a massive workflow bottleneck. Please prioritize this fundamental feature.

Yes. Novelcrafter would benefit from a find-and-replace feature! I cast my vote for it!

Plus one on this. This is needed especially when you're renaming something that appears in multiple different editors or sections that won't load all at once.

This has been asked in November 2023! How is it possible that a tool advertising toward writers still doesn't have a find and replace option! Thats just not caring about community needs.

If anyone's interested, while this feature is still a work in progress, there's a Chromium extension I use for this exact thing.

I found it a while back— it's really just called "Find and Replace" ( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/find-and-replace/bhmpidliobdjgkohacnkgfagkdmckcia ), accessible through any Chromium-based browser (that I've seen so far, though I'm certain it might have other browser compatibilities).

While it doesn't have your typical UI for a find/replace feature, it has both a pop-up and side-panel visual functionality, and you can essentially input a whole registry of words and/or characters you want to collectively change.

I've tried it out on Chrome, Edge, Opera and Comet so far, and it honestly helps a lot. While I haven't really looked into its cloud-backup feature, I know it does have a registry export option that basically allows you to save the list you might've created in one browser and import it into another; this is especially helpful if you either cross-browse, or even just to use in another computer, in case the browser extension synchronization doesn't do it automatically.

You can set it to automatically replace what you want, or set it so that you can manually activate it, and even disable those set to automatic-replacements without having to necessarily delete them from your list. Honestly, it actually works on any website, whether it's a writing platform our NC or a reading platform.
