 * Not sure what happened to this plugin, it used to work great but apparently it
   is now broken and no one wants to fix it (Look at all the support posts with 
   zero replies in the past few months).
 * After a website migration, I did a search and replace to replace the site URL
   throughout the database. Better Search Replace reported that there were 0 cells
   changed in 0 updates because it didn’t find anything to change. But if you go
   on the front end and inspect the HTML, the code clearly shows the database still
   has the URL that should of been replaced by Better Search Replace but it was 
   not.
 * Plugin needs to be renamed to Used to be Better Search Replace.

 * Unfortunate, it used to work quite well. I guess my “lifetime” license will be
   of less use than I thought.

 * The plugin is still maintained and supported, and continues to work well for 
   me.
