SourceSearchContext.replaceAll

Replaces all search matches by another text. It is a synchronous function, so it can block the user interface.

For a regular expression replacement, you can check if @replace is valid by calling g_regex_check_replacement(). The @replace text can contain backreferences; read the g_regex_replace() documentation for more details.
