            No it doesn't duplicate CONF-2522!! See previous comments.

            Issue CONF-4042 is about search and replace within one page--it is about an editor feature. CONF-2522 is about global search and replace across a whole space or several spaces.

            Please don't confuse this situation! There are people like me who can't start to use Confluence seriously with clients until the global search and replace (CONF-2522) is available.

            This editor feature CONF-4042 might be nice but it won't help a client who wants to replace a word throughout several spaces.

            Thanks Paul,
            The description in CONF-2522 should be updated, for example.
            "S&R in one page will be covered by CONF-4042"

            This issue was closed as a duplicate of CONF-2522.
            We are going to restructure things a little. CONF-2522 will be specifically about find/replace across multiple pages or spaces.

            This issue is re-opened and is specifically about find/replace within the Confluence editor.

            A search and replace is a standard feature of each text editor and it's also implementented in Tiny MCE 3. To search a text within a text box and replace it by another shouldn't effect the functionality of confluence. The functionality is capsulated within an editor. I think it's more work for Atlassian to disable this button at each change. This feature brings fast a benefit with less development effort.

            Regards,
            Andreas
