"Search whole word" in search finds alsowords with punctuation marks in front of them

  1. Default "Search whole word" in search finds alsowords with punctuation marks in front of them

    For example I need to find string "yo" in fast search window and mark in search options to find it as whole word.

    But Acrobat finds also "yo-yo" occurences, marking "-yo" as whole word.

    Is it possible to set up search so that only "yo" without any chars in front or behind of them are found?

    No, this is not possible.

  3. Default Re: "Search whole word" in search finds alsowords with punctuation marks in front of them

    pity. that would be close to being a bug... but other search utils, e.g. in MS Word demonstrate same behaviour.
    don't understand this logic.

    Trianon, yes it is possible with a custom-made script I've developed. Contact me by email (click on my user name for the address) for more info.
