 * Hello, I have a regular expression that on the web [https://regex101.com/](https://regex101.com/)
   works perfect, then the plugin search regex to put the same regular expression
   I find perfectly the 300 entries where the code I’m looking for, but then when
   replacing the 300 only replaces me only 9, do you know why this can happen?
 * Thank you very much

 * To close this, it turned out that the content stored in the database was different
   from what was displayed in the editor, so the pattern did not match.
 * Sorry, I’m translating the answer to another language and I don’t understand 
   it very well.
 * So what would be the solution?
 * Thank you very much for your time

 * In what way is the content different?
