Sorry to just jump in here, but in Frescobaldi 3.1.3 and still in 3.2 
the search and replace does not work properly, at least under Windows. 
The entered search term is not colored correctly in the code window, and 
replacing it does not work either. It is always marked one character 
further to the left, so it is marked offset, which is why I had to use 
the editor (=Windows on-board tools). I had also reported this some time 
ago on GitHub (https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/issues/1366), 
because the feature search and replace is very important in my opinion. 
Unfortunately, I don't know from which version the error occurred, but 
it once worked correctly.
On macOS it seems to work, on Linux I don't know.

PS apart from that, Frescobaldi is the very best LilyPond tool in my 
humble opinion.
