I really understand the importance of the problem and the enormous difficulty of implementing a solution that doesn't destroy the code if it doesn't work properly. On the other hand, isn't every misuse of regular expressions during Find & Replace risky? Many times I have spoiled many hours of work by accidental replace. Fortunately, now there are checkpoints (although you have to remember about them), but before that it was even more dangerous.
Absolutely not complaining about the existing F&R solution. I can always write a plugin that will do what I need to replace in a more "smart" way. But sometimes you need something ad hoc F&R and then I miss this possibility inside Sigil.
Saving search parameters will be a wonderful addition, because in one group of searches you will be able to combine changes with different parameters.
I also didn't want to impose priorities, I only expressed my opinion.
