You replied to an already resolved issue with this:

You didn't say, "It's much quicker for me," you said it's quicker for "your searches." Which means you're talking to whoever's reading this. If that's not what you meant, then you need to be more careful about your wording.

You also missed, or ignored, that I asked about function mode. Which means I was already writing a Python function to do the replace work, which means a separate text list would be redundant and unnecessary. If I had a list of things that needed to be done, I would put the entire list in the function.

The whole rest of this thread after my reply to Kovid was pretty funny. I asked a very specific question, got a very specific answer, and then a fight (used metaphorically and tongue-in-cheek, not literally) breaks out about the whole concept of saved searches. The interweb is an amazing, and amusing, place.
