Enhancement

Problem / Value

The search-and-replace tool often fails and duplicates capabilities already covered by existing editing tools. Removing it will reduce failed actions, simplify choices, and make editing more reliable.

Context

This affects anyone using Roo Code for targeted edits. Precise diff editing and line insertion already cover these tasks; keeping a separate search-and-replace path adds confusion and another failure point.

Constraints/Preferences

• Remove immediately (no deprecation period).
• Purge all references except historical changelog mentions:
  • Prompts/system messages and rules
  • Settings and UI text
  • Tool registry/enums and help text
  • Tests and docs
