Hi, I want to ask for a feature I have missed at Lexicon.ga, and this is an easy Find-and-replace. It would be a GREAT thing because it is really time-consuming to re-write every single word once you have decided to change a letter, for example, 'Č to Ch' (which also may be done separately from 'č to ch', I think this would simplify things and make it easier for users who like to capitalize the whole dighraphs), suffix, or root.
I suppose it should be sth like what it is on desktop apps, with options to select 'in word', 'in definition', and 'in details' etc.
Also an easy change of parts of speech, such as "make all 'verb trans' and 'verb intrans' to 'verb'" could be helpful on some occasions.

Otherwise, I want to express my gratitude towards you for the fact you have sat down to make a simple, usable dictionary. Great work!

This is an excellent idea! I'm actually doing some large-scale replacements in one of my conlangs right now, and this feature would be extremely helpful. I think I'll definitely work on adding a feature like this, but in order to do it "right", it will take a while to get all the features into it that I would want.

I may roll out bits of this incrementally just because it would be so helpful, but I'm pretty sure it will take a bit of time to figure out the best way to present all the features and add constraints so it doesn't accidentally replace things across the entire dictionary rather than in just a subset of words or something like that.

Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words!
