# Find and Replace

EDITable also has the 'Find and Replace' option to find a specific text or value and its occurrences in the table and then replace it with another text or value in one or more instances. Search for the exact text/value you are looking for using the search options like 'Match Case' and 'Match entire cell contents'.

1. Click **Replace** in the toolbar.

2. Enter the text/value to be searched in the 'Find' text box and the text/value that will replace it in the 'Replace' text box.

4. Click **Find Next** to locate the first occurrence and subsequent occurrences one by one.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.editable.io/working-with-editable/table-operations-insert-update-delete/find-and-replace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
