Is there a way to search and replace only tagged records?

I want to correct place locations to replace "USA" with "British
America" for events happening before 1776.  I cannot make this change
at the location master level, as some records should properly list
USA.  I can search and pull the list of individuals who, for example,
were born or died before this date, but I cannot figure out a way to
do a mass replace for only certain identified records.

I also cannot figure out a way to search--in one motion-- ALL events
occurring before 1776 where the location contains "USA".  The only way
I can do this is to pick three fields at a time, e.g. birth, death,
event.  Of course, I have to repeat this for individual and marriage.

I continue to find Legacy's search functions limiting.  Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks.
