Below that it shows the Current Value of the field, and if in Search & Replace mode, that is followed by the Replacement Value for the field, which can be edited if desired to customise just the current change.

If it is a Date or Age field there may also be a red warning message. These can be disabled on the Extra Filters tab to allow unconfirmed global replacements.

The Confirm every item found option applies to subsequent matching fields.

The Skip button will bypass the field, while the Cancel button terminates the entire search.
