Search Regex will replace text, it won't change anything that is inserted by other plugins. o2cathy on "how to search the media library?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/how-to-search-the-media-library#post-710 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:10:59 +0000 o2cathy 710@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ I have replaced all my old url's with the new one. Using post content, post url, post meta: <a href="http://www.oldurl.net/blog" rel="nofollow">www.oldurl.net/blog</a> replacing with) <a href="http://www.newurl.me" rel="nofollow">www.newurl.me</a> Except all the locations of the media library remain linked to the "old" url. Am I doing something wrong? John on "WP 2.6 versioning" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/wp-26-versioning#post-309 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:56:35 +0000 John 309@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ You are probably right there, and I haven't tried Search Regex since 2.6 was released. There's already a bug report raised about this issue so it has been logged. Gyrus on "WP 2.6 versioning" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/wp-26-versioning#post-306 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 08:47:23 +0000 Gyrus 306@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ With WordPress 2.6, my Search Regex search is returning results that don't match what I can see on the live site for the specified page. My only thought is that SR is picking up matches from older versions of the page/post, thanks to the 2.6 revisions system. Am I right on this? If so, any way of limiting SR to only the current revisions?

It's helped me out so much. Without it there is no way I could have gotten rid of all my internal 404's. THANK YOU! I beg of you... Please add support for Tags in the drop down. I'd love to pass Search Regex through my existing tags. Perfect use case, I have hundreds of tags that are "brown_cow" and I want them to be "Brown Cow". (Wonder if regex can do word casing? hmm) Anyway, would be huge... thanks for listening. thingles on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-165 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:45:35 +0000 thingles 165@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ I sort of figured out how to do this. What I did was do the search with a regex that captured the newline (\n) and then used the $x to put that into the replacement. Worked fine, but had to be applied over and over since multiple instances wouldn't match in the same regex. I think it was something like. /(.*) (.*)(\n)/ with $1$3$2 John on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-150 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:28:24 +0000 John 150@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ An interesting problem! I've added this to the feature request list as it's probably something that cannot be done as the plugin stands.

It's not possible to search within certain categories. Thingles, I've added that to the bug tracker John on "Search Regex Causing 404" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/search-regex-causing-404#post-138 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 10:53:18 +0000 John 138@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Added to the bug tracker, thanks thingles on "Search Regex Causing 404" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/search-regex-causing-404#post-129 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:13:38 +0000 thingles 129@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ It looks like when I use search regex I'm getting a 404 error (logged by Redirection, yeah!) Looking for "?/images?/small.gif" from the referer "?/wp-admin?/edit.php?page=search-regex.php" FYI... thingles on "Doesn't seem to work with 2.3.3" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/doesnt-seem-to-work-with-233#post-128 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:09:24 +0000 thingles 128@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ I've been using it extensively in WP 2.5 and it works fine. My only issue is that the links on each search result don't really work. But the basic "Replace and Save" function works fine. thingles on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-127 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:07:32 +0000 thingles 127@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Ugh -- seems that even HTML entity tags get converted...

Both of those should be " ". thingles on "Replace " " with newline?" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/replace-ltbr-gt-with-newline#post-125 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:05:57 +0000 thingles 125@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Search Regex is awesome and has saved me a ton of time. I've been able to clean up hundreds of old blog posts. I have one situation that I can't seem to figure out the right fix for. I have a couple hundred posts that were imported from another blog. That blog inserted " " with every newline. I'd like to purge the " " out and replace with a newline character. I can't seem to get a newline character in though. I tried "\n" and "\\n" on the replace string but both cases just put a "\n" in the text. Any ideas on how to get a newline in? maky on "Doesn't seem to work with 2.3.3" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/doesnt-seem-to-work-with-233#post-113 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 05:31:21 +0000 maky 113@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Hi, I am using WP2.3.3 and Search regex 1.4.5 but I don't see certail features like case-sensitive search etc. Also there is no option to save, if I do replace or search. I wanted to attach a screenshot for you but there is no option here. Secondly, is it possible to search within particular categories ? John on "generic search not returning much" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/generic-search-not-returning-much#post-92 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:13:26 +0000 John 92@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ I've added this to the bug list: <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/tracker/issues/show/110">#110</a> John on "Search replaced less than half of occurrences" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/search-replaced-less-than-half-of-occurrences#post-91 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:12:17 +0000 John 91@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ Thanks for the report, I've added this to the list of bugs: <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/tracker/issues/show/109">#109</a> wordmunger on "Search replaced less than half of occurrences" http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/search-replaced-less-than-half-of-occurrences#post-46 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:39:26 +0000 wordmunger 46@http://urbangiraffe.com/support/ I just did a search and found that it only replaced a small portion of all occurrences (about a thousand out of 2500 found using phpmyadmin). It seems to be almost random which items are successfully replaced. Any ideas? Also, I get an error when there are a large number of items found in the search. I had to break the search into pieces to get even this small portion of the results. FWIW I'm working on a test blog at bpr2.org. This will eventually be the new home of davidsonnews.net. The problem is that many of the old links point to our old server, rabbit.he.net/~davidsn. They need to be changed to bpr2.org (for the test -- in the real version they will all point to davidsonnews.net).
