--- Comment #2 from Kåre Särs <kare.s...@iki.fi> ---
The only reason the "match whole word" is missing from the Find in Files is UI
clutter.
We already have 12 buttons in the common for all search places. Is the "match
whole word" worth the extra button, space or added clicks for the rest of the
workflows?
As it is right now, you can see with just a glance if you have "match case"
and/or "regular expression". Adding a "match whole word" would mean that the
tool-button for "regular expression" would have to be converted into a
combo-box that takes three or four times more space...
That said, if there are ideas on how to improve the UI, I'm willing to listen
;)
- I don't want the required space to increase
- I want the important settings to always be visible (like "match case" and
"use regular expressions")
Hmm... We have the regular-expression menu button in the search combo-box....
that mechanism could maybe be used for also selecting the search mode, but is
that discoverable enough?
