as title suggest, the option is not available in the new elementor interface; also from my testing it's a pay to use.

I understand the need to encourage people to upgrade, but this is unusable. It is easier to edit the page in Elementor with the free version.

The plugin has its limitations, and the design is a bit poor in places (dark grey text on black background). But it actually helped me change out some text pretty quickly. Probably halved the time it would have taken to do it manually.

Can't even search and replace on my one page without being blocked by a size limit and having to purchase the pro version at an indecent price tag too for a one feature plugin! Highly frustrating. Deleting and looking for an alternative.

What frustrated me the most was the plugin author's attempt to sell the PRO version despite the numerous issues with the free version. It felt like a ploy to extract money from users without delivering on the promised functionality. I believe that if the free version of a plugin fails to impress, convincing users to invest in the premium version becomes a questionable tactic. The user interface of the plugin was equally disappointing. It was cluttered and poorly designed, making it difficult to navigate and understand its functionalities. The lack of intuitive controls and poorly labeled options only added to the confusion. In conclusion, my experience with the Search & Replace for Elementor  was extremely disappointing. The free version's lackluster performance, combined with its unintuitive user interface, made it a time-consuming and frustrating endeavor. The fact that the plugin author prioritized selling the PRO version over addressing the issues with the free version was the final blow. I cannot recommend this plugin to others, as it fell short of expectations and wasted my time.
