It's used in word-processing - to change multiple occurrences of words. For example, Say you have written a letter to Mr John Smith, and you want the letter to also go to Mrs Eva Jones and Mr Alan Turin. Instead of changing the occurrences of the persons name manually, you could use 'find and replace' - especially useful if the person is mentioned more than once in the letter.
