I checked it and it's not the same. It says:
" the highlighting and count of matches as one types a regexp or string to
replace in `query-replace{-regexp}'."
So it may do the first part, the highlighting of the regexp pattern while
typing,
but it does not seem to do the second part, that is showing the replacement
effects
in the buffer immediately as the user types the replacement text or pattern.
The second part is just as important, because that shows if the actual
replacement
is correct or it needs some tweaking before starting replacing.
