Search & replace - is a tool used within programs such as word-processing to replace multiple occurrences of a word or phrase. For example, suppose you were writing a letter to five different people (Mark, John, Mary & Peter), and their name appeared four times within the letter. You could use find & replace to change all the occurrences of Mark with John, then replace John with Mary, and finally Mary with Peter.

It simply gives you a method of changing text without having to re-type each time.
