Here is the example "1006 E 28th St"  I can search without the Period but it won't work when I try to search with the Period. Therefore it won't allow me to replace the whole keyword to "1006 E. 28th Street".

Do you have 'Grep' turned on?  Try turning it off.  If that doesn't work, then please post a screenshot of your Find and Replace panel.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,

The Grep was not on but I turn off the Whole words search instead and it works.
Thanks
