Universal Search-and-Replace

in progress

Equal Pigeon

A search-and-REPLACE option in Codex so we can change the names of characters / objects / locations universally across multiple entries with one click. It would save a lot of time instead of manually updating each separate Codex entry.

We definitely need the search and replace/find function. I can't believe you don't have it already.

Past Antelope

Yes, please, we need that feature, is essential in any writing system

Allied Tyrannosaurus

This is such a key feature, I don't understand how it's not been implemented already

Pleasant Gibbon

Has this been in progress since 2023?

Opera mauve Spoonbill

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

Main Butterfly

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!

Hollow Sturgeon

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!

Unexpected Antelope

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.

Xenon Grasshopper

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