Why does entering a regex pattern in Find and Replace match nothing?
KitForma editorial guide. https://kitforma.com/en/find-replace/ searches literal text, not a regular expression.
Step-by-step guidance
https://kitforma.com/en/find-replace/ searches literal text, not a regular expression. Characters such as a dot or an asterisk are treated as the characters you typed. Enter the exact phrase, choose first-only or all occurrences and verify case handling. Replacement strings are literal too. Test with a short copy before replacing common substrings across a long document, and review numbers, names and URLs that might contain the same phrase.
