Wiki-Wide Search and Replace http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-58382/wiki-wide-search-and-replace Posts in the discussion thread "Wiki-Wide Search and Replace" - A Search and Replace form that could go through every page on a wiki would be great for making wiki-wide changes. http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-58382#post-177592 Re: Wiki-Wide Search and Replace http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-58382/wiki-wide-search-and-replace#post-177592 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 22:17:54 +0000 bryanburke 105849 I agree with you, sur. The restore site from backup functionality should definitely be done first. However, maybe a search and replace function could be considered for Wikidot 2.0 or later.

There is a limit to how many pages I can make, because it takes too much time to go through each one to make a simple change. This is a necessary function!

Basically,

  1. backup site
  2. process the text files using your favorite tools/editors/etc.
  3. restore the site

So, I suggest we have restore site from backup done first.

In this case a wiki-wide Search and Replace would come in very handy. Perhaps it could even be a part of an Advanced Search which would allow you to search for occurrences of some text based on other criteria, such as date range or page contributor.
