We can't include images here, but I can describe it. When I suggested 
Find and Replace, I was actually thinking of the Edit menu item in the 
main IDE menu, not the one in the script editor.

When the script editor does not have focus (so your stack is in front,) 
you can use the general Find dialog to search all types of objects and 
properties, not just scripts. I have used it, for example, to find and 
replace content in custom properties, to change a term in all fields in 
a stack, or to locate all buttons with a certain icon ID. This dialog 
does allow replacements for anything it finds. To use it, first do the 
search, then enter the replacement term and click "Replace All". There 
is a long-standing redraw issue when the window first opens, and one of 
its panes is hidden. To fix it, drag the window's resize corner slightly 
and it will redraw correctly.

The script editor Find is a second option, and it will only replace 
scripts with open editor tabs. If it finds other instances, it lists 
them in its Search pane. You can click any line there to open the script 
(or click several to open all the scripts) and then use the option 
button to replace in "All Tabs".
