Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-08-21 23:11:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Please provide such mode to speed up the searching (from user POV) -- when I look for "range" (name of the method) all "outofrange" are not useful.

Comment 1 Graeme Hewson 2013-06-16 10:47:53 UTC

I too would like this feature. E.g., looking for the word "reset" in a document, I see "preset" and "featureset" as well.

Using Okular 0.16.4 under KDE 4.10.4.

Comment 2 ssameer+bugs 2013-08-29 16:48:31 UTC

I am using Okular 0.17.0 in KDE SC 4.11.00 (OpenSuse).  This feature is essential for searching documents.
More examples: search for "vision" yields "division", "revision", etc.

I guess this bug has not been fixed yet, right?

Comment 6 swiftgeek+kdebugs 2022-06-07 20:46:30 UTC

This feature is exposed via poppler's POPPLER_FIND_WHOLE_WORDS_ONLY, and qpdfview is already taking advantage of it.

Hope this helps with implementing this feature in okular

Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2022-06-07 22:19:30 UTC

No, it does not
