That will only select anchor tags with the word 'amazon' as the link text.

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon only now, @osgood_ 's proposal is very good, except that the emerging part of the link must exactly be equal to amazon and containing it, if so, so far so good (no pun intended 😉 )
On the other hand, @Uwe27891862d8tv if your text links could be sometimes differents, it's highly likely that your links themselves contain the word amazon in their url, so

It's nearly 2024. As an unpaid forum volunteer and product user, I no longer field questions about OBSOLETE software from the early 2000s. If customers cannot see fit to upgrade their tools for compatibility & security reasons, that's their cross to bear, not mine.

It was a general question which would be applicable to any program that has a find and replace option, new or old. Theres no security or compatibility issues here. Thats like saying I'm not answering your question because you're driving a 1960s car. Of course it's your call but a little strange in the circumstances.
I'm sorry but DW8 is the least reliable tool one could use.

In what sense.. Its just an editor, granted a bit out dated. If the OP was asking about server behaviours, fluid grid, spry etc l would agree, it's time to move on. The question was about find and replace............no problem l just immediately thought it was a puzzling response but of course you are entitled to express your opinions.

@Nancy OShea , do you think DW8 can open security holes using Regex?... Seeing as you're so thoughtful about such a position, I suppose so... could you tell us a little more about it?
Advanced Find & Replace (Ctrl + Shift + F) in Dreamweaver CC can do this without REGEX. See screenshot.
You can try the current version of Dreamweaver CC free for 7 days.
NOTE: After 7 days it reverts to a paid 12 month subscription if you don't cancel.

'they don't make them like they used to'...........true or false. I guess that's in the eye of the beholder.

I knew a crazy guy (a Vietnam war vet) who was so angry with the telephone company he fired a gun at his rotary phone. A while later, he lifted the receiver & heard a dial tone, so he shot his phone again. 🤣
