# [Plugin: Search Regex] replacing widget content

 * I am using the Weaver Theme which allows me to insert a top widget area which
   is specific to the page it is inserted on. This I find very useful because it
   allows me to insert in this widget 2 sets of content, (1) descriptive type content
   which is specific to that page only and (2) **general content** which is repeated
   on numerous pages.
 * I want to be able to update the **general content** on all applicable pages using
   search/replace techniques and Search Regex appears to be the tool for the job,
   however I am unsure how to do this.
 * Looking at the **source** drop down menu there is no provision for widgets. I
   tried setting **Post Content** as the source but this didn’t work.
 * Is there any other way I can do this?
