Another handy way to do this is with helm-swoop. While in a helm-swoop session, you can press C-c C-e to go into edit mode. There, you will see a list of matching lines with the current words highlighted, and you can edit them. Then you can press C-x C-s to apply the changes to the underlying buffer, or C-c C-g to cancel.
