Find & Replace for Google Docs that is actually free
A Google Docs add-on for people who edit long documents. Match case, whole word, regex, line and paragraph breaks, selection only, headers, footers and footnotes. No click counter, no trial clock. Pro adds bulk lists and formatting.
ReplaceKit is being built now and goes to the Google Workspace Marketplace next. One email when it's live.
What it does that Docs' own Find & Replace doesn't
Line and paragraph breaks
Type \n to find or insert a paragraph break, \v for a line break, \t for a tab. Join broken lines from a PDF paste in one go.
Exactly where you want it
Whole word, match case and JavaScript regex with $1 groups. Search the body, headers, footers and footnotes, or only the text you selected. Preview each match before you replace it.
Long documents
Replace All runs in batches and shows its progress instead of freezing Docs. Replacements keep the formatting of the text they replace.
