Hi, The search plugin only supports plain-text and regular-expression modes. I can see from the screenshot that the match-case and regular-expression tool-buttons have very dark icons and are barely visible :( With regular-expressions you get the "whole word" search with adding "\b" before and after the word like: "\bFooBar\b". As you can se, it is really easy to get the whole word with just a little regular-expressions, so I think there is not a big reason to add yet another button or option for that... (When you enable regular-expressions, you also get a context menu in the search field with common regular-expressions) I hope this helps, Kåre That is very helpful information. I think adding a "more" button that would explain these advanced search options would be helpful. Like how would one do a search for the full word "post" cap sensitive? (In reply to Kåre Särs from comment #1) > I can see from the screenshot that the match-case and regular-expression > tool-buttons have very dark icons and are barely visible :( Yes - that icon is not working for the theme I selected. I could never have found it. How to do a search is very helpful information. I think adding a "more" button that would explain these advanced search options would be helpful. |
Created attachment 146118 [details] missing option SUMMARY I do not see a way to do a "whole word match" search. Somehow that option is missing. Is this normal?
