It would be very handy if there were a "Find Whole Words" option in the find toolbar.  Its function would be to enforce this additional pattern constraint when Find Next is pressed.  That is, incremental (char by char) find would function as it does now, but if Whole Words is turned on, Find Next will only hit on occurances that are properly bounded by whitespace/punctuation.
