Questions
Does it support regular expressions?
No. It looks for the exact text you type, so characters like . * and ? have no special meaning. That makes it safe for everyday use.
Can I undo a replace?
Yes. Press Undo.
How do I put each item on its own line?
Find the separator, for example a comma, and replace it with \n, which means a new line. Type \t for a tab.
