Find and Replace needs fixing to add whole word

[Zero Zero]

Just started using Find & Replace only to discover it does not have "find whole word" option. Big omission.

Also a "search forward" / "search back" option would assist enormously.

Thank you.

Hi Walt -- many thanks for pointing that out. I had missed the cog-wheel on the "Find" section completely but had opened and checked the cog options on the "Replace" drop-down.

Very helpful forum, very pleased to be a member.

Thanks again.
