What it does
Search by formatting
Match on bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, subscript and superscript, font, size, text colour, highlight and links — on their own, or combined with the text you are looking for. Replace the text, the formatting, or both.
Paragraph breaks as a target
Replace a comma with a new paragraph. Or collapse paragraph breaks into a separator. This is the request people have been leaving in reviews of other tools for a decade.
Regular expressions with capture groups
Use $1, $2 in the replacement, so
(\d+)-(\d+) can become $2/$1.
Everywhere text hides, or only where you point
Body, tables, footnotes, headers, footers and every tab of the document. Or limit the run to your selection, to tables only, to footnotes only, or to headers and footers only.
A whole list of replacements in one run
Add as many find-and-replace pairs as you need, or paste a two-column list straight from a spreadsheet. Each pair runs on the result of the ones before it, and one Undo takes them all back.
Link addresses
The address behind a link is a separate target, so you can move every hyperlink to a new domain without touching the words the reader sees.
Clean-up
Remove empty paragraphs, page breaks and horizontal lines — with the same preview, tick boxes and undo as everything else.
Saved searches
Save a search with its options and formatting, and pick it again in any document you open.
Preview first. Undo the whole run.
Every match is listed with its surrounding text and a checkbox before anything is written. After a run, one click puts the document back exactly as it was.

The free tier is not a trial. It does not count your searches and it does not stop working. It is the whole tool, limited by what it does, never by how many times you do it. Failed searches that find nothing are the most useful ones while you are writing a regular expression, and charging for those is how this category earned its ratings.
What it is allowed to read
The document you have open (documents.currentonly), and the other documents you
choose yourself in the Google file picker (drive.file). The add-on cannot list, search
or open the rest of your Drive: a file becomes reachable only when you pick it. The last
permission, script.container.ui, only lets the add-on draw its own sidebar; it reads
nothing. Nothing leaves your browser and Google's servers: there is no server of ours in the
path.
