I tried using Find and Replace in Files in the Project today, to search for the typo "Speaches" and replace with "Speeches", which is in the name of a link on the bootstrap nav bar.
Here are the settings I used
But what happened instead is that every file in the project was replace with only the word "Speeches" and nothing else. I was able to recover all except one webpage that I now have to write from scratch. Why in the 
would this replace all the text instead of just the search term?! I actually went into my account to cancel my Adobe plan after this headache but it gave me 60 free days to stay and not incur the cancellation fee of over $100. I remain skeptical of my decision to use Dreamweaver if something so simple can go so wrong ...

You can chalk this up to "User Error" because you don't need an advanced search to do what you want.
In this example, I'm using DW CC 2017 to replace the date JULY2017 with new date AUG2017. This will search my Current Site for all instances of JULY2017. See screenshot. Hitting the Replace All button changes text and code to AUG2017. Easy peasy.
