Match case | Search for only those occurrences in which the capitalization matches the data you specified in the Find what box. Note In files that contain Japanese data, a find with the Match case option cleared does not simultaneously find both the half-width and full-width version of the same character. To comprehensively find and replace both characters, make sure you perform separate finds for both the half-width and full-width character. |
Match whole words only | Search for only those occurrences that are whole words or are bounded by spaces and/or punctuation characters. Examples good finds good and good within good-bye travel finds travel and travel within travel.com but .com does not find travel.com stone house[space] finds stone house in the sentence “The old stone house[space][space]has a large garden,” but does not find stone house in the sentence “The old stone house[space]has a large garden.” |
