force word search

Post by carlseibert »

Hi,

Is there a way to constrain a search to whole words? A search for "cat" will return "Catalina" and "concatenate" as well as "cat". If I just want the animal, I'm used to searching for ' "cat" ' with double quotes and getting just cats. Can I do this somehow in NeoFinder?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate being able to search strings rather than words because, for example, I can usually search for singular and plural in one go, as well as other useful cases. It's just that sometimes, I feel the need to go the other way. A search for "tim", for a real example, returns "estimate" and "time", common enough words to cause a problem.

-Carl
