Search Replace DB Pro extends the standard serialized-aware rewrite engine with saved plans, scheduled runs, and richer audit metadata. Plans and run history live in custom option entries under the srdb_ prefix. The default plugin UI lists plans one at a time, which works for ad-hoc URL rewriting but offers no portfolio-wide view of which plans have run on which environments.

SleekView reads the srdb_ option family directly. Each saved plan becomes a row with name, scoped tables, replace-pair count, last-run timestamp, and dry-run match count visible as columns. A second view exposes the run history with per-run match counts and per-table breakdowns, so audits answer not just "did it run" but "what did it actually change".

For agency teams running multi-environment domain migrations, the audit value sits in the join between plans and runs. Confirm every plan ran on staging before production. Spot plans that returned zero matches (suggesting a stale plan that should be archived). Catch runs whose post-run match count drifted from the pre-run dry-run.

Search-replace migrations are the silent-failure kind: the run completes, the count looks plausible, and the site appears to work. Days later, a customer reports a broken email link, an editor finds a stale CDN URL in a meta description, or a sitemap shows the old domain in a canonical tag. The cost of those misses scales with how late they are caught, and the only reliable defence is verification.

A dry-run count is necessary but not sufficient. A real audit join between plans and runs turns the migration from a one-shot operation into a tracked event with documented pre-run and post-run states. Filter to http, run, refilter, confirm zero matches, export the proof.

The same audit also catches the awkward edge cases that drag-net replaces tend to miss: serialized arrays in postmeta, JSON values in options, hardcoded references in plugin tables. That documented audit habit is what separates a migration that finishes in an afternoon from one that lingers for weeks of cleanup tickets.
