The user should not care that TextSearch uses grep internally. That's not a good reason to mark this bug invalid. However, I don't think replacing of text fits well into TextSearch anyhow. But that's just me. Usually, I am using TextSearch to either find text, or find text that I want to replace, but in all the latter cases I couldn't have simply replaced the string, more needed to be done. So what are some good use cases for replacing a string across files? Note that Pe comes with standard Haiku releases and has a much more powerul multi-file find&replace feature.
TexSearch is simply a gui for grep which does not replace strings. You need to use another tool to do as you ask.
