Finding and replacing a line of text in a document involves little to no effort, and it only takes a second, but it's a completely different story if you have to deal with a large number of documents. This is where specialized utilities like Advanced Find and Replace come in. The software is capable of searching for words and phrases within several text documents, and it lets you replace them at a moment's notice. It comes with a wide variety of filtering options, which help you perform accurate searches and make sure you replace every occurrence of the targeted words or phrases.

The software is free to try for a limited time but without any noticeable functionality restrictions. It works on numerous Windows platforms, from the old and dusty Windows XP to the new and shiny Windows 10. You can have it up and running in no time, without having to install any prerequisite tools or services.

Advanced Find and Replace places various filtering tools at your disposal, to help you find the content you're looking for without any difficulties. Besides specifying a search query, you can also set the application to look for the string in all the document in a folder of your choice. Alternatively, you can limit the search to files that have been modified between certain dates or files that meet certain criteria, like size, format or file name length.

Search results appear on the same window, in its lower region. The application displays the entire text within selected documents but highlights the string you searched for. At this point, you can switch to the text replacing tool, which is on a separate tab. Simply type or paste the string you want to replace and type in the text you want to replace it with. Alternatively, you can set the software to insert text before or after the target string, add something between the words and so on.

The software is capable of finding and replacing text in multiple documents at once. This makes it ideal for situations in which you have to update version numbers or change a specific line of code in multiple files. You can save valuable time, which you can use to focus on more important tasks.

Thanks to Advanced Find and Replace, you don't have to be a computer genius to finish a lengthy and tedious time in just a few seconds.

Pros

You can find and replace text strings in multiple files at once. The software places a good number of filtering options at your disposal. It's light and fast, and its controls are easy to master.

Cons

The software could use a graphical design upgrade.
