I'm looking for an app or utility, or maybe even a web service, that I can use to find all instances of a single word, so let's say I want to know where the word "Apples" appears on an entire website and on what pages. I'm looking for something that's simple, free and with minimum hassle to use. Added bonus if someone can point me to something as above, but with a replace function also so I can find all my "Apples" and rename them as "Oranges" or just delete them all, depending on the situation.
I used an application called 'Simple Search', I don't remember from where I downloaded it but I hope you can find it googling. This is a single exe file that searches for the text in all files inside given location and optionally replaces it with given word.
even notepad would find and replace work. if you want to find and replace throughout your website, use a free html editors. see: www.free-php-editor.com That should work!
Since you are a webmaster, you know dreamweaver or frontpage . You can use "Ctrl + F" to find or replace any code, you can replace any code in a page or in a folder. That is easy .
I could use DW for it yeah, not a huge fan of it though, I find it ungainly. What I'm looking for really is either a webscanner type dealie, like Xenu, or an ftp client on steroids.
I've tried many nut really loved a free application called InfoRapid Search & Replace, I even wrote a InfoRapid Search & Replace tutorial
