 * Are you sure, that character coding is not problem? Once I wrote a PHP script
   which changed data directly in databes like your plugin, but it put some non-
   visible characters also. I do not understand why. What kind of sanitize and character
   codin function do you have in the plugin?

 * I have no changes, no filters for s/r function. Only the wp core functions `stripslashes_deep`
   and `esc_sql` for sanitize input. The search,replace is a default form mysql.
