I am getting this error message:
COLLATION 'utf8_bin' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'utf8mb4' SQL=UPDATE `#__content` SET `fulltext` = REPLACE(`fulltext`, 'Wintrillions', 'TheLotter') WHERE ( `fulltext` LIKE '%Wintrillions%' COLLATE `utf8_bin` ) AND ( `catid` IN ('14','19','20','21','22','64','65','66','67','75','23','69','70','68','24','25','26','27','28','72','73','29','30','76','9','78','83','79','84','80','85','81','86','82','87','88','89','90','98','97','91','92','93','94','95','99','100','96','101','102','103','104','105'))
What is the problem here? The extension worked like a charm on a different site.

Barnaby:

I just wanted to let you know, I needed to go through a new J! site, to find all vestigial links to an old site, on a different URL. I was pulling my hair out, until I had the smarts to buy this extension, install it and do a fast search. I found every old link pointing to the WRONG url paths, and was able to go in and fix them. Titles, content, everything. I *love* this extension, it totally rocks. --Hitch

Am I able to exclude the code when making a change? I need to change a word and that word is in some of the page names. I don't want the page names to change, just the text on the pages.

Thanks!!!

hi, if this component is compatible with k2 Articles?

Maravilhoso

Hi

Is there any way to replace stuff in the body like the following code:

I purchased the extensions, but it seems that this isn't possible....

Thanks for your help.

Hi! I just had to post a review. I just purchased the Search and Replace component and I am thrilled! I just completed a job in about 5 minutes that I was dreading, because it was going to take me hours!

This is the 2nd program I have purchased from you. I also have migrate me and couldn't be more pleased. I will be looking for anything else you develop!

Thanks!!

Hello,
I just got your search and replace app, and in the search categories, there is only blog, and uncategorized. how do i expand the search scope of the app to search other areas of the website?

1. When you do a search/replace is there a log created indicating which articles were changed?

2. We may want to search for a name and replace it with several different permutations depending on the context. Is it possible to go through each search result and decide what to replace it with one by one by one?

This is an awesome product! It is really powerful!! It is so powerful that I could use some help understanding what I did. I can't seem to re-search and find the string I just changed. Any way to help? Great, great product!!

Dear Barnaby,

A wonderful piece of work. I'm currently constructing a huge text-based website and the S&R component has worked miracles.

Still, I would like to address the wildcards once more. Right now, I'm facing some site-wide editing and formatting that instead of a time-consuming process of many days would turn into a breeze if I could include wildcards such as "ex*mple" in the search and replace syntax. If you could update the component to allow such, it would rise to stardom.

Kind regards,

Pieter

Hello Barnaby,
I purchased this product because it says "Search & Replace for Joomla is used to search & replace content in your Joomla articles. You can search for any word, HTML, or content, and replace it with whatever you like.
I am trying to replace an HTML string;
ie.

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed24/7 Live Support Every DaySecure and Reliable

WITH
{loadposition calltoaction}

The above will be replaced in articles

Is there a trick to it? It says No results

Thank you,

Hi Barnarby

I have lots of documents with "" embedded in them. Unfortunately, the module concerned has stopped working and I need to replace it. The replacement module is #197. I assume that replacing with throughout my articles is simple with your component.

Hi stephan,

Before I would purchase I wonder if I can changes tab names or add more in few categories example {tab=About}{tab=Services} and if I would like to add one more in pages can the search and Replace can do that? It would same me lots of time for my client instead of going 50 pages and do it manually.

Let me know

Regards

I like the search and replace product very much and have used it over and over. I first purchased it on May 16, 2012. Has there been any update issued since? Again, thanks for this very useful extension.

I need to add a set of divs to several hundred articles. Will this component allow me to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.

I'm very interested by your extension but would have to use it with a php 4.x installation of Joomla 1.5. Will it work ?

I have a site that has a number of invalid links in articles that I need to change with new links. I wanted to be sure before purchase that this is possible to do.

Hi Barnaby,

i have to say, this is absolutely "Swiss knife" for work with Joomla! and databases together. I had about 1000 articles for change (dimensions of our e-publishing from issuu.com) and many other changes of articles and fixes of bugs on http://www.metro.cz. Im working now on site chages and your componnet helped me as nothing. Yes, is possible to do those changes from Myadmin or so,but why, when you made this tool. Its clear and easy. Keep this great work and good luck for you.

Does this work across components? I need to globally change the URL on a bunch of remote video links in hwdvideoshare

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Previewing your replacements before they are made would be very much appreciated.
Picking if you want to search your articles or your modules would also be cool.

You just saved me hours of work! You are my hero of the day.

Just wanted to say thanks, this is working great for me and has saved countless hours changing links throughout my site.

the changes are permanent? What happens if you uninstall the component? Are changes disappear?

thanks

Hey,

does the component allow wildcard replacements?

Thanks a lot,
Nadine

Quick question: So if I have the text [city] throughout my site and wanted to change it to New York this would accomplish this?

Thanks,

Hi Barnaby,

It works perfect. Thank you.

I get the JFTP::store: Badresponse

Can't find the installation packet.

Is there another way to install?

Thanks.

Does this component change the code in the database as well? For instance I have to find and replace many links to a new link can this software search for a link like:
domain.com/sub/sub/ to a relative link like /sub/

I love it, I love it, I love it.
Hip Hip Hurra
As we say in Swedish!

perfect, thanks

Thanks, very easy search and replace on the database, exactly what i needed.

How to install and run this component? Simply copying it into the folder doesn't work for me ... I am on 1.5.14.

Thanks for your help
