  • Prevents search

    Unfortunately this plugin steals the standard browser search shortcut, and doesn't offer search only instead, so you can't easily just search for something, or observe the context of what you are replacing. It doesn't make that clear, and suggests it provides functionality like Microsoft Word and Google Docs, which is far from true. If it made this clear, and provided workarounds, such as a different shortcut for search & replace, like Control-Shift-H, that would be better.
