[Feature]: search and replace all functionality #12331

Open eco-monk opened 2 years ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

A way to search and replace code in the application.

Like search all in vscode

Why should this be worked on?

Useful when users need to check, where they've called a function / used a string / used a certain piece of code in the application/page.

@eco-monk wouldn't a better solution to this problem be the option to find all references?

eco-monk commented 2 years ago

@Nikhil-Nandagopal That was my initial thought too.

But for example, if user wants to know where storeValue("property1" is called in their application. Just a reference wouldn't be of help. Hence the feature to search by string.
