Question 1

What happens if my regex is invalid?

Accepted Answer

An invalid regex throws a SyntaxError that is caught and displayed as an error message below the Find input. The replacement does not run until the regex is corrected.

Question 2

Does the replace work with Unicode characters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. JavaScript's native String.prototype.replace() handles Unicode characters correctly, including emoji, accented letters, and characters outside the BMP. The regex engine also supports the u flag for full Unicode property escapes.

Question 3

Can I use named capture groups in regex replace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In regex mode, $ refers to a named capture group (?...) in the pattern, just like in JavaScript's native replace().

Question 4

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All find and replace operations run entirely in your browser; the input is never transmitted or stored.
