In Word, you can use ^c to insert anything from the clipboard into the Replace box. This is useful because it takes all formatting with it. Is there a similar function in LibreOffice?
As a workaround, you can…
Replace all instances at once: Find All, close the Find and Replace dialog, and Paste (Ctrl+V).
Choose which instance to replace: Find, close the Find and Replace dialog, and Paste (Ctrl+V), find next (Ctrl+Shift+F), and Paste (Ctrl+V).
Tested with LibreOffice 7.2.3.2 on Linux.

Thanks, Leroy. Works a treat!

Very nice. I use this to add alarms/reminders in ics-files by replacing END:VEVENT with a VALARM block (followed by END:VEVENT) for all events in one go.
One important remark though: I experience that it only works if I copy whatever I want to paste from a LibreOffice Document. Eventhough it’s just text, it didn’t work with text copied in notepad++ or somewhere else. The result here was one paste with all other occurrences replaced by an empty line. Who cares? But you got to know.

Good remark. That’s similar to when pasting as unformatted text in a Calc range, or in more than one cell in a Writer table.
Tested in version 7.4.3.2.
