Mass replacements mismatch

I want to do a replacement of all internal links in wiki articles from
http://www.my-site.com
to
https://my-site.com

When I use the mass replacement tool it finds an unknown number of results but seems to be all pages. The first page is the main page. Inspecting the source, I find it does not meet the search criteria as it doesn't include the text I searched for.

This is working as designed. Here is a quote from one of my previous responses about this:

The page would still match the same criteria. However, if the replacement was already done or is not relevant to the page, then it will be skipped when the replacement is performed.

Mass Management Tools does multiple steps:
1. Searches for pages in the wiki matching your criteria
2. Shows all pages matching those criteria, even if they don't fit the replacement rules.
3. If you proceed, it looks inside those results to see if any fit the replacement rules, and if so, performs the replacement.

Mind the separate sections "Search Options" vs "Action Settings". The items on the prepared results page only adhere to "Search Options". Your selections for "Action Settings" are only applied if you proceed with the action.

There are two headings on the Text Replacements form:
- Search Options: This is the criteria used to generate prepared results
- Action Settings: If prepared results are approved, these criteria will be tested and, if applicable, performed against each result
