A veces, hay pequeñas funcionalidades que echo de menos en WordPress pero, por suerte,
otras veces encuentro plugins maravillosos como este. ¿Alguna vez has querido hacer
lo típico de buscar y reemplazar texto? Pues con WordPress no podías hasta ahora.
Con este plugin liviano tienes una lupa arriba a la derecha que hace está función
como si estuvieras en cualquier editor de textos.¡Una genial! Simple pero genial.

This plugin provides a simple but much-needed feature, and it does exactly what 
it promises, saving a lot of time when editing content, without unnecessary complexity.
Sometimes basic functionality like this is surprisingly hard to find, so it’s great
to have it available in such a straightforward way. Very useful and appreciated!
