In Writer: performing a "Replace All" reports the number of substitutions made. This is helpful.
In Calc: the same operation reports nothing unless no matches are found. This is not helpful.

Re: Differences between Find/Replace in Calc vs Writer
That's just ridiculous. LibreOffice has features I dislike compared with AOO, and anyway this is the AOO forum! The objective is to improve AOO, not abandon it for something else.

Re: Differences between Find/Replace in Calc vs Writer
Then it's a pity the logo is Apache OpenOffice and the URL is forum.openoffice.org. Misleading.
Nonetheless, I'm commenting on AOO, which I would have made clear in the first post had I realised this forum does not distinguish. I have edited the title.
Perhaps you could recommend somewhere specific to discuss bugs and feature requests, specifically for AOO?

It's a bit odd that the forum name is "Apache OpenOffice" then! I wouldn't have come here looking for support on Libre.

You may. I'm not a spring chicken, the memory cells are leaky like DRAM.
