Perfect! Search and replace with text preview
Fantastic! It shows me a clear text preview of which posts I'm changing a word in, and it's incredibly fast. Since the plugin comes from Younes Sigma series, where I've been using Advanced Database Cleaner for many years, it provides me with an extra layer of security and trusted when making deeper changes to the database. Thanks, Younes, for another great feature!
