I want to correct a surname.
It is only corrected in 1 NAME.
2 SURN remains with the old value.
So do additional names.

    And, search and replace works only on INDI data, not FAM data.
    Search for Sidney, Shelby Co, Ohio, USA and replace with Sidney, Clinton Twp, Shelby Co, Ohio, USA and all instances in the MARR records or CENS records (anything in the FAM record) is not replaced.

    This has been fixed in SVN 1154.

    Searching in FAM and SOUR records have also been fixed.

    New features:
    ability to search whole word only in places
    results list only shows records that have changed

    In my current copy of file TT A.ged

    I try to run search/replace on Individual and Family records and change Turku or Turku, of Turku, Finland so that I will have at the end Vyborg, finland.
    I fill Turku or Turku, in the Search term, Vyborg or Vyborg, in the Replace with.
    Then I select Place and Whole words only.
    My records with a place Turku, Finland remain as they were.

    Changing Turku, Finland to Vyborg, Finland - Place only checked - Works.

    I do not see any selection on a Family.

    When I try to change Amit name as a full word only to Amity, also names like Amity or Amitay wait for approval.

    Search/replace has been largely rewritten since this bug was raised.

    Is this still an issue?

    1. I try to correct the spelling of a surname - only individuals - nothing is changed
    2. I try to change the spelling of a part of the places - whole words - nothing is found
    3. I try to change text in Entire record - No results found

    This does not work
