i want to find and replace a string in netbeans.

but the edit -> replace button is unclickable.

why is that and how do i solve it?

A: 

Have you tried CTRL+H? That works for me.

It's odd tho, that the one in the edit menu doesn't work... What exactly are you working on when you try this?
What are your specs? OS, Netbeans version, Java version...

Replace menu item is enabled only when input focus is in code area.

When there are no open files or input focus is in side tabs (Project, Files, etc.) Replace menu item is not available.
