How so? Unless I'm overlooking a feature, the only way to limit what it finds is by selecting fewer files, right? So if I wanted to (for example) change all <div class="foo"></div> to blockquotes, it's all-or-nothing, at least within the files I've selected?
Whereas, with a dotall search I can do a find without replacing to be taken to a hit, replace, and immediately verify the results. I can also add to the regex if I want to do something like altering the line immediately below the div block.
Don't get me wrong - your TagMechanic plugin has been a massive help for me! I've recently embarked on a massive library overhaul and it's expedited this process immensely.
