Hello matabelle, That kind of search and replace is different than what I understood from your description. First of all, you search and replace within a single file. Additionally you see the changes on the fly, not in a new file. If you were talking about a search and replace in the same tiddler yes, it will be more easy. Would you like to support single search and replace text or even regular expressions?
I think this can be fairly easy. Maybe it will be more difficult while editing but.. it's possible. Anyway, if you want to try it out, this feature is already available in the codemirror plugin with any key map, for example vim.
