Questions, bugs or feature requests: email replacekit@tuper.app. Include what you searched for, the options you ticked and what happened. We answer within two working days.

Getting started

1. In Google Docs open Extensions > ReplaceKit > Open Find & Replace.
2. Type what to find and what to replace it with, then press Find. Every match is listed with its context; click one to jump to it in the document.
3. Press Replace to change the highlighted match and move to the next one, or Replace all.

Options

• Match case: Cat does not match cat.
• Whole word: cat does not match category.
• Regex: JavaScript regular expressions. In the replacement, $1 or $<name> inserts a group and $& the whole match. Example: find (\d+)-(\d+), replace $2-$1.
• \n \v \t (on by default): \n is a paragraph break, \v a line break (Shift+Enter), \t a tab, \\ a backslash. Untick it to search for a literal backslash.
• Search in: body, headers and footers, footnotes, or only the selected text.

Common recipes

• Join lines broken by a PDF paste: find \n, replace with a space (or use regex ([a-z,])\n([a-z]) and replace $1 $2 to keep real paragraphs).
• Remove empty paragraphs: find \n\n, replace \n; repeat until no matches.
• Put each sentence on its own line: regex \. , replace .\n.

Undo

Use Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z in Docs, or File > Version history to restore the document as it was before a large Replace all.
