Search Regex

Leírás

Search Regex adds a powerful set of search and replace functions to WordPress posts, pages, custom post types, and other data sources. These go beyond the standard searching capabilities, and allow you to search and replace almost any data stored on your site. In addition to simple searches you have the full power of PHP’s regular expressions at your disposal.

You can use this to do things like:
– Help migrate a site from one domain to another
– Update URLs in links and images
– Perform site-wide changes

Search filters can be created to match any column of any WordPress table. For example:
– Find all posts in a category
– Find all post meta data without a post
– Find all posts in a date range

Search Regex handles small and large sites.

What can I search?

You can search:
– Posts
– Pages
– Any custom post type
– Comments (including spam)
– Users
– Meta data
– WordPress options
– Supported plugins (such as Redirection)

Full regular expression support is provided, and you can capture data and use it in the replacement.

Actions

A variety of actions can be performed on matching results:
– Modify and replace the result
– Delete the result
– Export to CSV and SQL
– Perform custom PHP action

Modify and Replace Data

Results can be individually modified by clicking on the item to change, and using the popup modifier.

Bulk modifications can be performed against all matching results.

The types of modification depend on the data being changed:
– Numbers can be added or subtracted to existing numbers
– Hours, days, weeks, and months, can be added to dates
– Tags and categories can be added, removed, and substitued

Custom shortcodes are supported that allow dynamic data to be included:
– Add the current date and time, in any format, to content
– Insert data from other columns. For example, insert the category into the title
– Transform existing data. For example, convert case, change underscores to dashes.

Example uses

Some ideas for potential uses:
– Delete all comments that match a phrase
– Add a category to all matching posts
– Remove orphaned meta data

I've been looking for this plugin for the past 10 years, gosh. What an incredible "little" plugin: search, bam, the pages where a given word/file is located at. That's it, super fast.

Saved us hours where another plugin would give up.Of curse it's risky to use it [especially if you use it wrong], so always make a DB backup first, just as it says!Thank you very much.

I installed this plugin to do regex replacements. However, it can barely find ANYTHING even on basic searches. For example I used the search phrase: rel="noopener" target="_blank" That returned 96 results on the plugin search. When I went to my posts, it returned 5,559 results. When I ran that search on the Better Search Replace plugin, I got 279 results. Now sadly the Better Search Replace plugin flat out lies when it says it has regex. It absolutely does not. There are TONS of and TONS of posts this plugin is missing which it should be matching. Completely unreliable. I even did direct database checks and deactivated all caching & security plugins. This plugin just can't do anything.

There are several DB replacement plugins. Search Regex is embarrassingly better than all the others, albeit more popular ones. The problem is the name. Many users are kept away from the word "Regex". It is true that it is a unique feature, but this advantage should be spent without making it seem suitable for too specific use. It should be more clear that Regex is just an option, and not even the default. However, the description is very clear. Unfortunately it's not enough, especially considering the repository's search algorithm and the way users scan results.

I am working on production and what I really like is that it is possible to create presets that are locked to "No Action". This allows me to search without the risk of accidently replacing the content. It could be safer still. FEATURE REQUEST: The search results return a column called "Matched Content". When hovering over a cell in this column a menu appears that contains "Delete database row". Please allow the creation of Presets that prevent this option being shown. The benefit of this is that Searches would then be intrinsically safe.
