Question

Are there any good "Find and Replace" scripts for Illustrator?

I didn’t expect to need Find and Replace in Illustrator.
I tested the Find and Replace option under the Edit menu, but found it wasn’t very user-friendly.
The main issue is that the layout gets locked when using it.
It also lacks regular expression support and a history feature.

Do you have any better suggestions?
Thanks.

    @dublove I like using the ‘Select’ function while working with similar styles or strokes.
