# Search and Replace plugin

This plugin adds search/replace dialogs to TinyMCE. It also adds a toolbar button and the menu item `Find and replace` under the `Edit` menu dropdown.

## Basic setup

```js
tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'searchreplace',
  menubar: 'edit',
  toolbar: 'searchreplace'
});
```
