nvim-spectre is a Neovim plugin providing a search-and-replace panel for project-wide text editing. It uses ripgrep for finding matches and sed for replacements, with regex support and path glob filtering.

Use cases

• find and replace text across an entire project in neovim
• search project files with regex from an editor panel
• filter search results by file glob pattern
• interactively toggle which matches to replace
• search and replace within the current file only

When to choose

• you work in Neovim and need project-wide find-and-replace with a UI
• you want regex-based search with editable result buffers
• you prefer replacing text without leaving the editor

When to avoid

• you need undo support for replacements (commit files first; no direct undo)
• you are not a Neovim user
• you need consistent regex semantics between search and replace (rg vs sed vs vim regex differ)
