The add-on doesn't even show up in Google Docs. Based on other reviews, the add-on used to be awesome, but seems to have been consistently getting worse and worse, and I suppose not being able to use it at all is the culmination of that.

I'll keep trying, but I've installed and see no extension. Back to download page, only choice is Uninstall. Not Advanced at all so far.

It says 30 clicks per month, but it has been well over TWO months, I should have 60 clicks by now, but NOPE! I do not recommend getting this extension. It says 'advanced' but the thing is, why don't they add a 'specific word' button, for example, I searched 'a', and then pressed the 'specific word' button so it would only show the a's in my documents and not the a's in other words. This is just my opinion (which I highly recommend following), but if you think otherwise, I got no problem. Might I add, MANY of the fonts are missing like Comfortaa, Cairo, etc. Owner of this extension, I suggest you live up to your word because u already have a 2-star rating based on average.

This application used to be awesome. I happily paid for a LIFETIME license to use at work. I have correspondence with the developer that he would change it to my personal account if I left that position. Great! Fast forward, I leave the position, and the developer says he will not change it over *AND* if I want the functionality (that I already bought a lifetime license for) I would need to pay monthly. The audacity.

I needed a tool to update hundreds, occasionally thousands of items for my job. The problem was I needed to include carriage returns and this add-on was the easiest tool I found to do this. Also, I had a problem when the list I was updating went into the thousands, but after reaching out, my question was responded to within a day and I was on my way again! Great support, wonderful app! Thank you!

Doesn't work. I wanted to search for underlined words and remove the underline, and it looked like it would do this, but it didn't work.

Great concept. The speed of the tool leaves A LOT to be desired, though. Four-five minutes for the search function to complete and then again the same time for the replace? It's not that long of a document! What is going on?

Does not let you find/replace the newline character, so useless for converting double paragraph breaks to single paragraph breaks with tabs or indents. Also, just FYI, it's not free. You only get 30 mouse clicks (a day? a week? not sure) before you have to pay $6/year for a premium subscription. I might consider that if it had full RegEx functionality, but it does *not*. So I can't use it for the one thing I needed it for.
