Many PC editing applications have a find and replace feature where each match is displayed to the user for confirmation before committing to the change.

I have fallen into the trap of using the PhpGedView search and replace tool without carefully scrutinizing all of the possible matches beforehand. The result is considerable repair job to restore all of the replaced items that I did not want replaced.

Could we add a "confirm" option to the find and replace feature, similar to the one in OpenOffice?
