Options Explained

• Match whole words only — when ON, cat won't match category.
• Use regular expression — enables regex patterns like \d+ or [A-Z]+.
• Escape special characters — treats $, ., *, etc. as literal characters.
• Replace only the first match — replaces only the first occurrence, not all.
• Preserve original case — if the match was UPPERCASE, the replacement becomes UPPERCASE too.
