Find And Replace Templates

Find and Replace Templates (Ctrl+Alt+H) is a SSMSBoost feature that lets you save frequently used Find/Replace patterns and quickly reuse them in SQL Server Management Studio.

Instead of typing the same search and replacement text again and again, you can create reusable templates that include:

  • Text to find
  • Replacement text
  • Match case option
  • Match whole word option
  • Regular expressions option
  • Preserve case option

This is especially useful when you often perform the same code transformations, cleanup operations, formatting adjustments, or repetitive search-and-replace tasks.

What This Feature Does

The feature allows you to:

  • Save Find/Replace configurations as templates
  • Apply saved templates to the current SSMS Find/Replace window
  • Capture the currently active Find/Replace values
  • Add captured values as a new reusable template
  • Search through saved templates
  • Manage templates from SSMSBoost settings

In short: it turns SSMS Find/Replace into a reusable template system.
