Description Diederik van der Boor 2005-08-30 19:29:02 UTC 
Version:           onbekend (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "a" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-20a-default

When searching for a "word", only files are found that match the word exactly. I believe this is confusing for new users, who logically assume that kfind works like windows-find/google/whatever they know.

Off course, we don't want to loose the ability to look for files named exactly what we type. But since this is an advanced feature, advanced users can use regular expressions for that (^word$)
