Hi Andre,
Would "find whole" instead of "find words" help?
On the other hand I have realized complex search scripts that parse a
text to retrieve, for instance, all phrases (paragraphs) that contain
pStr1 AND pStr2, etc.
Could you be more precise about your needs?
Then I might be able to help.

Thanks a lot Wilhelm for your answer and your website I am
discovering ; it is including very useful tools and I am learning a
lot from it.
However, I am worrying about using the offset function for several
reasons :
- actually, I have several fields to search in (what I should have
mention in my question, sorry);
- the user should be allowed to write several words or phrases that
should be search in this several fields;
- I would like to find each occurrence of each word and phrases in
the fields (I am highlighting each of them when the user arrives on
one of the found card, starting from the results list).
- In order to be retain, a card should include alls the words or
phrases written by the user (in other words, I would like an
implied "AND", not an "OR".
With the "find" function it is rather easy and fast, and currently,
my app works well but with the restriction that the user can ask
only for single-word keywords, not phrases.
I keep feeling that I can't easily use the offset function to
obtain what I want to ; Likely, I am missing something ?
best regards
from Grenoble

I would like to be able to find not only words but also phrases. For
example, the users should be able to enter « user interface » as a
whole, while now they only can enter the two words « user » and «
interface ». (not sure I am clear enough ?!).
How to distinguish, for a find command, « user interface » as a
phrase
from « user interface » as two words.

Try the offset function.
One of the many examples where this is implemented are my stacks
for searching the Rev documentation "searchDocs XML".
See page "Tools and Samples for Development" of my website "http://
www.sanke.org/MetaMedia".
