Does not work. I forgot system/words/, i try also to remove the if (but i'm
not sure that the efinal evaluation of the search value does not make fail the
block of all in some cases)
system/words/all [any-string? target any [not any-string? :search tag?
:search] search: form :search]

I fear that memory can become a problem with very long series! and additional
test on the lenghts could slow the function, i think.
----- new version ----
replace: func [
{Replaces the search value with the replace value within the target
series. Changed by ana}
target [series!] "Series that is being modified."
search "Value to be replaced."
replace "Value to replace with."
/all "Replace all occurrences."
/case "Case-sensitive replacement."
/local start end rule
][
rule: [to search start: search end: opt (end: change/part start replace
end) :end]
system/words/all [any-string? target any [not any-string? :search tag?
:search] search: form :search]
if all [rule: reduce ['some rule]]
either case [parse/all/case target rule][parse/all target rule]
target
]
