Preferred Term

It’s possible to enter specific Preferred terms in the same way that you would in the Always Find tab. However, there is one more option available in the Wildcards tab: for your Preferred term, you can use the \𝘯 wildcard to search for an expression and then replace it with the rearranged expression.

For example, in the box next to PerfectIt should warn if it finds the phrase: type ([0-9]{1,2}) (December) and in the box next to If it finds the phrase, it should suggest: type \2 \1. The placeholders \1 and \2 refer to the terms in parentheses, with \1 being the first set of parentheses, \2 being the second and so forth, so this example will find ‘25 December’ and replace it with ‘December 25’.
