I have a Google Doc with tons of hyperlinks within various text strings throughout the document. All the links have the same root URL (say, my.oldsite.com). Recently the site changed their root URL to my.newsite.com and now I need to change all the links to the new root. So I want to FIND 'my.oldsite.com' and REPLACE with 'my.newsite.com'. The built-in Find and Replace is not working for me, hoping someone knows a way.

I was able to find-and-replace the text of web addresses. Your issue might be something simple; in the "Find and replace" dialog box, make sure you've spelled my.oldsite.com correctly, you are searching "All sheets" instead of a range, and you don't have any other options selected (like Match case, Match entire cell contents, etc.). – BrettFromLA Jan 26 '17 at 17:57
There is no way to do it natively in Google Docs. Maybe you should use a Docs add-on that could do it.
This add-on allows you to do it (Link URL and Set Link URL) but it is not free, though it is only $5: Advanced Find & Replace

Apart from installing a commercial plugin, I'm not finding the function that does this, can you elaborate your answer? – bbozo Oct 20 '17 at 8:40

Google Docs does not have a feature like that, so I wrote that add-ons might have, but I only found one that costs money. – Yisroel Tech Oct 22 '17 at 3:01
