 * Hi,
 * Can you please paste the exact search and replace strings that you’re using, 
   as well as the tables you’re searching in?

 * hey matt,
    and thanks for response. on my test page I have a picture URL like
   this for example: [http://copy.network-solutions24.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Zecken_Hund1.jpg](http://copy.network-solutions24.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Zecken_Hund1.jpg)

 * How did you put that image on the test page? Was it just a standard media upload/
   embed, or is it in a slider or page builder of some sort?

 * hello matt,
    I guess now I know what U want to say… In my example the image is
   part of the fusion page builder (part of a kind of shortcodes)… maybe thats why
   the plugin doesn’t find the URL. right?

 * Yep, sometimes sliders and page builder plugins will store the URLs differently
   in the database, for example I think Layerslider escapes all slashes in URLs 
   with backslashes, so searching just the standard URL returns no results.
 * I haven’t yet tried it out with fusion builder, but I will try to replicate.
 * In the meantime, If you’re familiar with things like PHPMyAdmin or MySQL, you
   could try manually finding the image in the database and seeing how it looks 
   and then you could use that format as the search/replace string in Better Search
   Replace.
