Hi! I have written an old old search and replace tools way back for plone 2.x iirc. I found the code and pushed it to https://github.com/gogobd/GoReplace. There are some valuable ideas in the code. I do have some general interest in that idea.

Hey @polyester and @tkimnguyen,

Sitewide search and replace seems a great idea. Also, I found it interesting and would like to work on the same this summer. Please let me know from where I should start.

Although I faced few issues while going through the readme of rt.bulkmodify which are mentioned in the project description. Some of these are:

• What's the extension of this add-on as it's already mentioned in the readme that "By default, the product works with all known rich text fields of Plone contents".
• Does the code available at rt.bulkmodify supports Plone 5.1.x? As I could see the last commit was in Jan 2015.
• Also, I want to know that do I have a correct image of the project or not i.e. by this add-on, the admin could sitewide search and replace some rich text available in different content types without individual moving to those content type's text fields. Admin could search a regex with help of this add-on and check all the places from the result of the search where he wants to make a replacement. The functionality of the add-on is that "admin could sitewide search and replace rich text without moving to the content types individually."
