(This problem also occures in THUNDERBIRD mails:)


When searching for a specific word on a website, there's no option for "search for whole words only".

Example:
If I search for the word "war" on a website --> also e. g. the word "award" gets highlighted !
But I only want to search for the word WAR as an own word.
