Bug ID: 127174
Summary: Search dialog doesn't support "whole word only" option
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.3.0.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyal...@technion.ac.il
When searching for an expression in a worksheet, I can search for it as a
substring, as the whole cell contents, or as a regular expression. That's good,
but there's a missing option: Whole-word search. Many editing applications have
this - and LO Writer has it, even, but LO calc doesn't.
This feature is important when searching for cell references, e.g. H1 : You
don't want to get the results for H10, H11, H12 and so on.
Now, it's true that you can achieve the same with a regex search, but then
you'd have to remember the syntax for word-boundary (which is different in
different regex implementations, e.g. vim vs bash). Plus, few users know what
regular expressions are and how to use them.
