I have a new word for you. First, some background:

typo
/tay·po/   Short for “typographical error” — historically, an error introduced by the typesetting process; now, any spelling or orthographic error in a text.
pasteo
/pes·to/   Neologism   Etymology: riff on “typo”. A typographical error introduced by careless use of Copy & Paste functionality on a computer.

And now, my addition:

search-and-replaceto
/sərč ænd riplesto/   Neologism   Etymology: riff on “typo” by way of rime with “pasteo”. An error introduced by careless use of Search & Replace (or, in my case, :%s/foo/bar in vim).

OED, are you listening?
