# Rule action: Search and replace value

### Use cases

* Find and replace values
* Remove a value in your fields (by replacing it with nothing)

{% hint style="info" %}
Important: The **Search and replace value** action is case sensitive by default.
{% endhint %}

Use the **Search and replace value** action to find specific values and change them to different values.

If the value you want to replace is not found in the field you select, the rule will not add the replacement value.

### Find and replace values

You can use the **Search and replace value** action to change color names.

### Remove a value in your fields (by replacing it with nothing)

Use **Search and replace value** to delete certain values from a field. To do this, leave the **Use replacement value** field empty. For example, you can remove the sizes "small" and "large" from the titles of your items.
