 * When we try to search and and replace a URL in all tables, it works if it’s a
   dry search or if we export a SQL script with the changes, but it does not work
   if we check “Save changes to Database”.
 * What happens is that the page simply refresh (fast) and nothing happens.
 * Any tips?

 * yes, i’m sorry.
 * that is not realy a bug. The issue is that a notice is missing.
    We try to prevent
   user for self destroy! You can’t replace a domain directly on the database but
   you can change the Table prefix and Download a SQL. At next you can import this
   SQL and change the tableprefix at wp-config.php
 * that should working.
