Searches on Whole Words

Post by Pohutukawa »

I looked in the online Help and through several pages of matching terms on this forum, but I could not locate it.

How do you perform a whole word search on a project?

Example: On the Find and Replace panel in the Find what field, I entered here. I set the Find in field to (whole project), and clicked Start.

Results show stuff that I do not want to see, including where and there.

I've tried using both single quotes and double quotes.

Thank you.

Don't believe there's an option in Flare, but you can get the same effect by entering a space both before and after the search term.

... as long as the word isn't next to punctuation.

It sounds like a feature request is in order.
Until next time....
