the trouble with expanding zips or going the html route is that you potentially get hundreds of individual html pages to sort through. so that option probably wins 3rd place only, with 2nd place going to " convert to .rtf and use word."
Why would you want to do another conversion to rtf and back? That seems like not only a waste of time but a good way to introduce more conversion errors. If you're not going to use Sigil (which does have search/replace across all HTML files in the epub), use a tabbed editor like notepad++, textpad, pspad, visual studio, etc and just open up all of the HTML files in the directory. Then you can again do a find/replace across all open files. The only "difficulty" here is understanding how your chosen text editor handles opening multiple files (that is, don't try to do this using the Windows default Notepad text editor).
