🎯 About This Plugin

This powerful Moodle plugin helps administrators search and selectively replace text across their entire Moodle database. What makes it different from Moodle's built-in tools or other plugins is that it lets you preview every change before it happens. You can see exactly which code snippets and text will be updated, giving you full control and peace of mind. With its easy step-by-step wizard and strong security features, you can safely update course content, activities, pages, and labels with confidence.

Key Features:

• 🔍 Smart text search across database tables
• 🎯 Interactive content selection with checkboxes
• 👁️ Preview every change before execution
• 🔐 Administrator-only access with multiple security layers
• 📊 Detailed operation logging and results
• ✅ GDPR compliant with Privacy API
• 🛡️ A+ Security Rating (see SECURITY_AUDIT.md)
• 🏗️ Modern architecture with Mustache templates, Output API, and ES6 modules
