= You can go to the dashboard of any subsite to run a search/replace on just the tables for that subsite.

= How can I use this plugin when changing URLs? =

If you're moving your site from one server to another and changing the URL of your WordPress installation, the approach below allows you to do so easily without affecting the old site:

1. Backup the database on your current site
2. Install the database on your new host
3. On the new host, define the new site URL in the `wp-config.php` file, as shown [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_wp-config.php)
4. Log in at your new admin URL and run SurfLink on the old site URL for the new site URL
5. Delete the site_url constant you added to `wp-config.php`. You may also need to regenerate your .htaccess by going to Settings -> Permalinks and saving the settings.
