Replace every non-overlapping literal match, with an optional case-insensitive mode. The replacement is inserted exactly as typed. Paste text to edit, enter the phrase to find, and choose whether letter case must match. Leave replacement text empty to delete matches. Every non-overlapping literal match is replaced; text such as $& is inserted literally. Matching is by substring and may occur inside longer words. Search must not be empty; leave replacement blank to delete matches.
