No. And hopefully it never will be. OneNote isn't a Word Processor.
It would be interesting to see the scenario you are intending to use
this function with.

Hopefully it will never be?

What happens if you product codename changes you and need to update all of
your notes : )

In all seriousness this is doable via the OneNote API, so if someone wants
to write it they are welcome to.

F&R is by no means exclusive to word processing.

It's a very valuable and powerful tool wherever text or code is concerned
and I'd like to see it added to OneNote as soon as possible too.

We use OneNote exclusively for our teachers to take lesson notes while
teaching students.

We recently changed the term "Trial Lesson" to "Introductory Lesson" and now
we want to globally change every reference to "Trial Lesson" in every page
of every section of every Notebook to "Introductory Lesson".

Students occasionally get married and change their surname. We'd like to
globally change their surname in every notebook to reflect their new name.

Etc.
