-When started, the plugin displays a form with four edit fields: +  * //Namespace// -- allows you to select a top level [[:namespaces|namespace]] that contains pages to search in. All the namespaces below the selected one will be included in the search as well. Standard name resolution of the namespaces applies here (e.g. "." stands for the current namespace, etc.). If the namespace is not provided, BatchEdit will search through the entire wiki. 
- +  * //Search for// -- depending on selected options this can be plain text string, regular expression, or fully qualified regular expression including delimiters and modifiers. BatchEdit uses Perl-compatible syntax of regular expression as defined by [[http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcre.php|PHP PCRE extension]].

-BatchEdit displays every match of the search results in separate boxOn top of the box the plugin shows a check box with the page name and a character offset where the match occurred. The check box is used to select matches for the replacement. In order to prevent unexpected results the check box is unchecked by default requiring the user to confirm every replacement. To the right from the page name there are two icons: the first one links to the page itself and the second one to the editor. The rest of the box is split in two parts: matched text with some context on the left side; and the same fragment with applied replacement on the right. Both the matched text and the replacement are highlighted.+{{ https://images2.imgbox.com/b8/59/8NixhxOL_o.png?800 |Match box}}

 +==== Configuration ====
 +
 +BatchEdit uses two types of configuration options:
 +  * User-specific options -- all options available on BatchEdit page are individual for each user. These options are stored in a browser cookie, so strictly speaking they are browser-specific.
 +  * Global options -- can be modified on DokuWiki configuration page. They control aspects of BatchEdit operation, which are rarely (if ever) to be changed.

 ==== Performance ==== ==== Performance ====
  
-BatchEdit does not rely on any caching to do the search, so every time //Preview// or //Apply// button is clicked the DokuWiki server reads all the pages from a hard drive. To reduce the server load and search time use //Namespace// field that limits the search scope.+BatchEdit performs caching of the search results to avoid repeating the search when replacement is applied. Yet on every preview attempt the DokuWiki server reads all the pages from a hard drive. To reduce the server load and search time use //Namespace// field that limits the search scope or limit the number of search results in //Advanced options//.
  
  
-==== Page locking ====+==== Concurrent page edits ====
  
-While BatchEdit locks pages during replacement, there is still small possibility for the data corruption. The replacement is performed in two stages: +Because of two-staged approach of Preview&Apply, there is a possibility that while one user verifies and marks matches for replacement some other user modifies one of the involved pages. To prevent any data corruption BatchEdit locks pages during replacement and verifies that matched text is still located at the match offset. If any of the marked matches cannot be found at expected offsets, replacement for that page is rejected.
-  - BatchEdit searches for the regular expression matches in all the pages. For every match the plugin records character offset in the page where the match occurs. +
-  - On the second stage BatchEdit compares matches found during the first pass with a list of matches selected for replacement. For the matches found in both lists BatchEdit locks the page and performs the replacement using the offset.+
  
-If the page is modified between these two stages, BatchEdit will apply the replacement to random data in the updated page. Though the chances of such corruption are rather small, the administrators should take care to minimize DokuWiki activity when Batchedit is used.+This verification still leaves a possibility that replacement will be applied to a different instance of the original text that happened to be at the exactly right offset after the edit, but likelihood of that is rather small. Anywayit's recommended that administrators take care to minimize DokuWiki activity when BatchEdit is used.
  
  
 ==== Page lookup ==== ==== Page lookup ====
  
-BatchEdit uses DokuWiki page index to get the list of existing pages instead of going through the data directories. If the index is incomplete the plugin will not see some pages. This also applies to the "special" pages, for example, namespace templates.+BatchEdit uses DokuWiki page index to get the list of existing pages instead of going through the data directories. Because of the missing or incomplete index BatchEdit may show less search results than expected. This is often the case for a freshly migrated wiki. You can use [[plugin:searchindex|Searchindex Manager]] plugin to get the index up to date. 
 + 
 +This limitation also applies to the "special" pages (e.g. namespace templates), which are not listed in the index and therefore cannot be edited by BatchEdit.
