No, I don't believe so, but I'll kick myself if the feature exists and I've been missing it all this time.
If you need some kind of workaround in the meantime because you have a big pile of stuff to replace, drop me a PM and I can write up a quick AutoIt script that will do a search-replace for every snippet in the current topic/article. Can be made into a self-exec or, if you don't trust random stranger code, run through the AutoIt programs.
If needed I can also expand it to run through a list of linked topics/articles (e.g. set up a User Note page where each line is linked to a Topic you want to parse and do search/replace for each snippet).
I'll now selling tickets to see @MNBlockHead kicking himself. Hurry, they're going fast!! 
It's limited to an entire topic or article, but there is definitely a Find, as well as a Replace. This includes Replace All.
When in Edit mode of a topic/article, look at the Format ribbon at the top. There is an Editing section that contains both a Find and a Replace button. These operations are tied to the standard <ctrl+F> and <ctrl+H> keyboard shortcuts that Microsoft Word uses. Within the Replace option, there is a Replace All option. It works quite well!

This is exactly what I use when copying stuff from an OCR'd page (of a book I own). I find it invaluable for correcting the one common mistake that the OCR always seems to make. It's not so great when you have multiple errors or if "a" becomes "g" for example but if there is a two digit error, it works great.

Man...that's what I get for not double-checking before posting.
So, uh, I kicked the heck out of myself, not realizing that tickets were being sold. But fear not, a re-enactment was filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZb7MVwctug

MNBlockHead I hope you didn't kick yourself too hard in the head, I just found out that neither the Find nor the Replace will locate anything that includes punctuation of any form like parenthesis. I don't know if this is a bug, but I did report it in case it would be considered a bug. If it's not a bug then at least my reporting it put it on the radar.
