Searching for specific words (needs to recognise spaces)

Post by username132 »

There is something wrong with how PDF Xchange Viewer searches. If I search for the word "ratio", it picks up, for example:

consideration
intergration
alteration
concentration
preparation

because they contain the string "ratio" within them. This is fine and not abnormal but when I add spaces before and after the string (i.e. " ratio ") then I expect it to no longer find words containing the string "ratio" within them. However this isn't what happens and that's not fine.

Hello username132,

The spaces you add in the search field might be "trimmed" before the actual search commences. Please just change the settings so that the Viewer/Editor gets you "Whole words only".

Regards,
Stefan
