This first tab, Search + Replace, searches through the chosen metadata field looking for a word or phrase, and then replaces all its occurrences with alternative text.
Search Replace Transfer is a Lightroom 2 and 3 plug-in designed for bulk changes to text in Metadata Panel fields:
- Searches and replaces text like a word processor
- Appends text before or after existing text
- Transfers text between fields
- Copies metadata between IPTC location and IPTC-Extension fields
- Creates smart collections based on the current item’s metadata
- Transfers metadata from iView/Expression Media to 18 custom fields
- Checks you’ve entered data in fields like the title, caption and keywords
- Makes the calendar month and stack position searchable
