From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011009 Netscape6/6.2 BuildID: 20011009 When using find/ replace it will find all words with the characters in it, needs to be able to find specific words. Ex: when searching the it will find they, them, rather ext... there should be a filter for exact word. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open document in composer 2.click on Edit> find/replace 3.Type in "the" in the search field, and click find next. Actual Results: it will find any word with "the" in it. Expected Results: Should be a filter so that "the" is the only word found.
It seems what you're requesting is an additional checkbox for the Find dialog similar to that provided by BBEdit, "Match Entire Words." Confirming as an RFE.
