 * Hi,
 * I am on WordPress v3.2.1 plugin version 1.4.11 and I’ve tested on Chrome 14.0.835.186,
   Firefox 6.0.1.
 * For me, the “replace and save button” works but the inline replacement is not
   working, neither the “replace” button, nor the edit manually and save function.
 * Please see what I could make of the Firebug console output below. I’m not much
   of a whiz at Firebug but I tried. I have no idea if it’s relevant, but that’s
   what came out when I clicked “Replace” inline.
 * I’ve used and loved Search Regex since probably like 2008, I have no idea (years!
   thank you!). Hope this can get fixed!

 * The inline replace has never worked for me either. Instead, I’ve had to resort
   to more clever regex searches so that the plugin only finds the right hits, and
   then I do the search and replace option.
 * I too wish the inline editing worked, because it would be a heck of a lot easier
   than opening each post in the editor to make the changes.
