Hi,
would it be possible to add the possibility to make a whole word search in the search / search and search / C/C++ search windows ?
It is only possible in the search/replace windows (on one file).



Reproducible: Always

In the 'File' search you can do this by using regular expressions. We won't add a separate checkbox for that.

Moving to CDT to decide about their search page.
Comment 2 Markus Schorn CLA 2010-05-25 05:24:04 EDT 
The C/C++ search searches for the whole word per default. If you want to search for parts of identifiers you need to use wild-cards ('*' and/or '?').
