I know how to find&replace within a document in the iOS version of scrivener (magnifying glass, than cog), but I can’t find a way to do it in the entire project. I can search the entire project in the Binder, but I can’t seem to find the replace option here. Am I missing something?
Searching here I found this post. Help?

The iOS version does not have a global Project Replace function, like the desktop version does.
The main issue with providing such a capability is that the mobile version only operates upon a subset of the overall project—it doesn’t support access to all of the places text can be stored. So it’s possible that such an operation would miss spots you really wanted to have replaced, and that could end up with confusion later on.
What I do, when I run into a limitation like this, is drop a little note-to-self in the binder to do it later when I get back home. I often keep an “Inbox” folder at the top of the binder for ideas, notes and reminders.
