The SharePoint Search and Replace package provides a tool that replaces hardcoded strings in SharePoint lists, document libraries, web part properties and text-based documents. SharePoint administrators will find this useful during SharePoint upgrade process when user hardcoded URLs result in broken links due to server name changes.

You are no doubt aware that during the process of implementing SharePoint-based solutions, configuration changes often lead to a situation where hardcoded strings in the SharePoint information store are either not updated anymore, or even worse: they are simply wrong, pointing the user to a wrong location. For example, a "Favorites" links list item that directs users to "homepage" now needs to be changed to "homepage".
