Find and Replace in Google Docs

Another step toward becoming a proper document tool. Google docs has been added with a new full-fledged find and replace toolbar, the new Find and Replace toolbar (for documents) which will make it easier to find the text you want.

If you people want to locate a word or phrase in your document, it’s as easy as choosing “Find & Replace” in the
“Edit” menu, or simply press Ctrl+F.

Then type the text you want to find, and click Find Next or you can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+G’. If it appears more than once in your document, you can click Find Next again to select the next occurrence.

Now what if you want to change some or all of the occurrences in your document, just type the replacement text in the second box. And all you have to do is to click the Replace button to change a selected occurrence to the replacement text, or just by clicking Replace All to change all the occurrences in your document in one shot.

Find and Replace also supports additional options for controlling the search, which you can see by clicking the arrow next to the search box. Options such as case-sensitive matching and regular expressions. Find out more about this feature in this help center article.

This is quite a handy tool, you people can now use it and make things simpler as much as you can.
