---------------------------------

             Summary: ReplaceText does not document that EL values are literalized for Search Value
                 Key: NIFI-7353
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7353
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: 1.11.4
            Reporter: Jeff Storck


ReplaceText should document for the {{Search Value}} property that EL values will be literalized/quoted.

For example, if {{Search Value}} is set to {{$\{myregex}}}, and
{code:java}
myregex = ^.*$
{code}
the evaluated value for the {{Search Value}} property will be
{code:java}
\Q^.*$\E
{code}
That makes {{Search Value}} effectively the literal string "^.*$", and it will not be used as a regular expression.
