SCENARIO 1: Your customer wants to change the word "client" to "account." Using SPEED Ferret, you quickly address this request--impressing the client with your skill and timeliness, and guaranteeing yourself future business.

SCENARIO 2: You’ve taken on a project that looks more like a plate of spaghetti than an application. SPEED Ferret allows you to quickly see how objects are related and plan changes to design a more effective and efficient application. Your client thinks you are irreplaceable!

Get the Big Picture

By displaying every occurrence of a text string in your project, SPEED Ferret helps you determine the effects proposed changes have throughout your entire project. You can decide whether you have specified the correct search criteria, made the necessary terminology changes, and located all of the appropriate occurrences. You get instantaneous (project) omniscience!

Safeguard Your Changes

SPEED Ferret is loaded with safeguards that allow you to check and double-check the changes you intend to make. For instance, a Preview Screen allows you to look at each and every occurrence in your project, decide whether you'd like to make a change to that occurrence, and implement the change. Once you make changes, you can easily test them, restore the previous SPEED Ferret session, and recover the original values of All or Selected changes. SPEED Ferret has built-in functionality that allows you to proceed more confidently!

Avoid embarrassment

With sequential find and replace methods, it’s easy lose track of the changes you have made--not to mention you never know when you have completely located all occurrences. These methods can result in broken functionality, outdated nomenclature, and frustrated clients. SPEED Ferret spares you this embarrassment with it’s one-of-a-kind 4 step process.

An easy, 4 step process

SPEED Ferret’s unique four step process saves you unnecessary embarrassment by helping to safeguard your actions. Here’s how it works:

• First, a Search stage finds all properties that match your criteria.
• Next, A Review/Edit stage displays all references that SPEED Ferret has located. In this step, you can select only the occurrences that you wish to replace and directly edit their replacement values.
• Then, you save your changes in the Replace step by clicking Save Replacements
• Finally, you exit SPEED Ferret and test your changes. If you discover any changes that you wish to undo, you can restart SPEED Ferret and restore the previous session. After selecting specific replacements, you can click the Selectively Undo button, to undo only those changes, leaving all other changes intact.
