it's true, calibre is not designed to work on text, at least before the introduction of the S & R.
Until version 0.7.40 I was often forced to use Mobipocket to convert, and then re-import it into calibre for optimization of the text (unwrap, Paragraphs ...) and management (metadata, cover, database, upload on device).
With version 0.7.42 (S & R) I left other tools and takes less time to do this.
My goal is to read a fairly well-formatted e-book on my kindle 3, I will not waste time rewriting the ebook with Sigil!
@ldolse: does not matter if the text contains some little errors not caught by by a regexp.
I think this is the goal of most people using calibre!
however, I think a solution with a dynamic list for the management of S & R will comes to mind to developers. You can simply add a "Add" button that will display a new pair of fields Search / Replace...
Easy.
