The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

You can choose to search for whole words only. Using this enhancement, if you wanted to search for just the word "the," your search would not include words such as "there," "then," and "theater."


Concept
The Search feature of WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS can limit a search to whole words only; characters within words that match the search string will be ignored. As another example, when you use this enhancement to search for the word "and," WordPerfect will not find "sand," understand," or "land."

You can use the Find Whole Words Only enhancement when doing a search and replace as well when doing a search.


How Do I Use It?
1      Press Search (F2).

2      Type the string you want to search for, then press Enter.

3      Choose Find Whole Words Only (4).

4      Choose Search (F2).
