Find and Replace function in Blocks Editor

[Kanishka_Developer (Kanishka Chakraborty)]

There should be an always-on search bar that allows us to type in Blocks, or search for existing ones. After the search results are evaluated, the outlines of the blocks are highlighted (along with a result list that lets us browse through the results, in case we can’t sort out the highlights) Then we will be able to replace all instances of a block with another block. The replacement block must be compatible with the value-type checks, otherwise there will be syntactical errors and the purpose of Blockly is defeated. For event handlers, the do portion must not be disturbed.

Plus we don’t have Find and Replace. Read my post.

How do you think ‘Find and Replace’ should be implemented? Blocks are different than codes.

@pavi2410 Isn’t that it?
