About This Feature
Overview
Find and Replace is a text editing feature in WPS Office for iOS presentations. It helps you locate keywords, replace selected text, and adjust matching conditions before you update content.
Core tasks include:
- Find text: enter a keyword and move through matching results in the presentation.
- Replace text: enter the original text and replacement text, then replace one match or all matches.
- Find and Replace settings: turn on Match case and Whole word matching to narrow the results.
This feature is useful for updating repeated terms, revising presentation copy, checking capitalization, and locating text quickly in longer slides.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides Find, Replace, Replace All, Match case, and Whole word matching in iOS presentations. | Word provides Find, Replace, Replace All, and additional options such as Match case in its official help content. | Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports Find, Replace, Replace All, and arrow-based result navigation. | Notion officially documents page search, but its help content does not describe a standard in-page bulk replace workflow for regular page editing. | Acrobat can search the current PDF and replace text one instance at a time, and Adobe states that only the Find toolbar includes a Replace With option. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: combines find, single replace, replace all, and matching conditions in one mobile workflow for presentation editing. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents broader text-processing options in Word, but the referenced workflow is centered on Word documents rather than presentation editing on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs on iOS supports replacement, but the referenced iOS help page does not describe Match case or Whole word controls in that mobile workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on search and navigation, and the referenced help page does not present a comparable bulk replace flow for page text. | Compared with WPS: Adobe documents step-by-step replacement in PDFs, and the referenced help page describes Replace and Replace next rather than a replace-all flow in the same toolbar guidance. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to update presentation text directly on iPhone or iPad, WPS keeps find, replace, and matching controls in one focused flow. Other products also provide search-related tools, but their documented workflows are aimed at different content types such as documents, workspace pages, or PDFs.
