There is another possibility I don’t think I saw mentioned. For those of you who know and love vim, all you need to do is put the obsidian editor into vim mode and you have a complete search and search and replace mode ready and waiting for you. No plugins or set up needed

I’ve been searching around the forum to find a solution for changing all the tags in a vault into backlinks. This thread seems close enough.
I have imported my notes from evernote, I have around hundred tags to change into backlinks because I want to change the way I work with tags.

I’m on Windows, I could use a tool like Notepad++, but I don’t know how to write a regex for that.
Anyone have a clue? Regex or any other solution that would not be changing tag by tag?

Thanks

+1. I can see using this to replace the file path of linked external media if the folder it’s kept in has to get moved (i.e. if I were to move that folder of photos, etc. from the desktop to an external hard drive)

+1, please :upside_down_face:

+1, we really need this function.

Yes, such a feature would be great. I was just searching if there was a way when I found this thread.
However I did not see this as a big deal, I used the Open vault in VSCode button for Obsidian.md plugin from @NomarCub and searched & replaced within seconds.

I did this too. It helped me to save a lot of time.
