I’m excited about announcing the release of my first open source project: a major update to the Search and Replace Scanner module for Drupal.

The release builds on the work started by Tao Starbow of Starbow Consulting, which provided regular-expression-based search-and-replace functionality for CCK fields.  Version 2.0 adds an undo option, plain text searching in addition to regular expression searching, whole-word matching, and the ablity to limite searches to certain node types and nodes with certain taxonomy terms, among a half-dozen other features.

Many thanks to Jason Salter of awesome Drupal consulting firm FivePaths for co-writing version 2 with me, and to FivePaths for supporting development.

The module is currently listed as an alpha1 release, but we’ve been testing it heavily and it’s looking pretty solid.  I’m looking forward to seeing others use it and to getting feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and what we should add in future versions.
