Search and Replace safety nets

[rd836]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Office programs typically have options like Find Next, Replace, Replace All, that provide some safety and granularity to the search and replace process.

Presently OneMore is all or nothing, with no way to "see" what it is doing, or intervene.

Describe the solution you'd like Have options similar to Word or Excel, like Find Next, Replace, Replace All.

A question related to this is if OneMore can also do a substring search either as regular, or give advice how to do it with regex.

E.g., native OneNote can't find the "line" in "online" via its Ctrl-F find operation. This is a major deficiency in OneNote compared to Word.

Having OneMore do this would be one of the most useful features it could provide.

I agree about the safety net. It seems like adding the ability to prompt for confirmation on each page while showing the page with changes highlighted would be relatively easy and very useful.

I just got bitten yesterday by accidentally clicking the wrong button in an app which had no confirmation and no undo.

"... would be relatively easy..." 👀

But I certainly do agree it would be very useful :-)
