How to mass find and replace in wordpress – great for dyslexics!

I manages to miss spell a place name about 300 times today (not exaggerating) on my wordpres blog. I managed to find and replace all the mistakes in the post using a Firefox add-on but then I realized the mistake was also in all my photo captions. Mass photo management is a nightmare in WordPress anyway, I was pretty strung out, however, this add on was a real lifesaver. It took me a while to workout that it was case sensitive (yes I know it says it in the instructions, but I was half asleep and really stressed) so all in all, a good job! Would have taken several hours manually and it only took about 30 seconds once I had found and figured out the app!
