Data Import etc

When I import data or do a ”Find & Replace” (=Press Ctrl+Shift+F) in a Found Set, will FileMaker Pro replace the text only in the found set or across all Records?

forget that I wrote something, quoted wrong page from help :see_no_evil:

An import updating/replacing matching records is always for just the found set you are importing into.

Replace field contents (cmd + =) is also an operation that will replace a fields value on all records in the found set.

The Find & Replace option is a little more confusing because it does claim "all records" in its replace options, but again this is only operating on the found set, so it's not actually all records, it should instead read "all records in the current found set"
