Couldn't you have just used a replacement variable?

I never use replacement variables if I only want to replace things in the post text. Replacement variables affect things *everywhere* and sometimes that screws things up big time.

Does the str_replace only replace exact matches like replacement variables do?
For example, if I set up a str_replace to replace "The Black Cat" with "The White Cat" will it also replace instances of just "cat" or just "white" to "the white cat"?

str_replace replaces exact phrases. PHP Tutorial - str_replace

Hello!
Please help me to learn where to start defining postbit_display_complete hook.
Already I can make changes in templates but a point about hooks is not clear for me.
