[Enhancement] Find & Replace

[david-allison]

For ecosystem compatibility

I'd like to see this as a developer-only feature in 2.19.

The UX here will take time as it's potentially an extremely destructive action, and hard to calculate over a whole collection

@david-allison what need to be done in this issue. Can you please explain to me.

[david-allison]

Anki Desktop has the following window in 'Browse', we should implement this in AnkiDroid

[Aditya13s]

Can i start working on this?

[david-allison]

Thanks!

[Aditya13s]

what should be the design for this feature @david-allison

[david-allison]

@Aditya13s since we're hiding this behind a developer option, don't worry about it.

It needs a great design before general release, it's a dangerous feature

But to go under the development option, just focus on matching Anki Desktop's functionality

[Aditya13s]

Can you provide me some more details about it to move forward with it like where to add that option, find and replace words from all decks on only selected decks, etc

• find the functionality in Anki Desktop
• Find the code in Anki Desktop's repo and adapt it for AnkiDroid
