About
What the Find and Replace Text does
That literal behaviour is deliberate. In a regex-based replacer, characters like `.`, `$`, `(` and `?` carry special meaning, so searching for '£9.99' or 'What?' can silently match the wrong things. Here those characters match themselves, which is what you want when editing prose, prices or code.
