domSearchReplace(element, search, replacement, options) -> result
search can be a string, or a regular expression.
replacement should be a string, or a DOM node.
The replacement value can also use the appendTo contract. If the replacement is a user space object then if it has an appendTo method this method will be used to insert the replacement value at the matched position.
options.all
Set if all occurrences of the pattern should be matched.
The default is false which means the pattern will only be matched once.
If the replacement value is a DOM node then options.all does nothing as nodes just get moved around when they are appended.
Warning
You'll get unexpected results if you try to replace across nodes. If the string you want to replace crosses over a <span> for instance that string will not be replaced.
dom-search-replace only matches inside of a single node for replacement.
