Global Search and Replace

Squiz Matrix Support

I've got a few hundred pages that have links with a 'target=_blank' which I would like to remove. Will the Matrix 'Global Search and Replace' tool allow me to do this once Search Manager is configured?

Matrix search and replace only replaces content that has been indexed by the search manager. Search manager doesn't index HTML tags or attributes, so I'm afraid you won't be able to do that through the interface.


Previously where we have had lots of this kind of legacy content we have used a scripted approach to replace this data. If you are savvy with PHP you can look at the system_integrity_run_tidy.php script for a good example of modifying all the content areas in your site. If you are a Squiz client on an SLA, however, you would most likely need to contact us before running any scripts on your system.
