Re: Should the scope of WholeMatches be expanded?

There is already truewordOffset available but you have to check
whether the search string is the next trueword.
So matchChunk is faster.

Hi.

Not sure, because I have never used one, but would a "trueWordOffset" help?

Except in the replacement searching I'd like to do, I am searching and 
replacing phrases bounded by white space (tab, space, non-breaking 
space, line break, etc.) so wordOffset will not work for me.
