The domain change and admin notice
Faq
It scans all the tables with the same table prefix as WordPress. It fetches each row, unserialize values as needed, and replace the old domain by the new.

Total Nightmare
By 
Went through the stress of migrating my WordPress site to a new server and thought this plugin was the icing on the cake. All I needed was to change my domain name to reflect the new domain name and came across this plugin. Ran the plugin as the instructions stated and it became a nightmare. Some of the files were changed to reflect the new domain, others weren't. Than there was duplicate domain names, www,name.comwww.name.com, throughout the WordPress account. I had to delete WordPress, create a new database and do the migration all over again after spending 4 hours doing the work the first place. Words can't describe how pissed I was after using this non-working plugin.
