Specify a Pattern to be matched in the source Text.

Set the mode to be either Search or Replace. When in Search mode, the first match will be returned if it can be found anywhere in the text. In case of no match, the node will return an empty string.

When in ‘Replace’ mode, all matches will be replaced by the Replacement string. There will be no replacement in case of no match, and the node will return the original text.
