Where to turn off 'Whole words' searching?

[Ian Branch 121]

Hi Team,

I want to turn it off full time.

I can't find any way/where to do that.

Can I?

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

for sure, in Registry you can do it

Quote

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\Search]
"Case Sensitive"="False"
"Whole Words"="False"
"Regular Expression"="False"
"Search Forward"="False"
"From Cursor"="False"
"File Mask"=""
"Include Sub Dirs"="True"
"Global"="False"
"Display results in separate tab in message view"="True"
"Group results by file"="True"
"Wrap Around"="True"
"Search Directory"="C:\\RADStudio\\RX113"
"AdvancedSearch"=dword:00000004

Tks.  Interestingly, it is False in the registry.

And now the checkbox is off.

Yet I had to turn it off yesterday and today.

Strange.

I just restarted my PC, started Delphi, opened the project, did Ctrl-F and the checkbox is checked.  Checking the registry, yes, it is True.

Not persistent. 😞

unchecked the checkbox, saved the project, exited Delphi and reopned, checkbox checked

for me, works on re-RUN IDE!  = Pay attention =  "False"  // not false!!

• in last, try "backup" your C:\Users\<<USER WINDOWS>>\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero and delete all  (any problem you have a backup to restore)

Same annoying issue here. Every time I do a search, after starting the IDE, its checked again, even in the registry its false.

here it works in RAD11.3

Registry: Works for me also in D11.3. But remeber: Close the IDE first, and then change the registry! The IDE will write in the Registry when its closing.

and more, IDE always re-save many values on Registry and setup-files on Users\...Roaming\Embarcadero same that you dont change nothing. just compare using "Beyond Compare"

Hi Team,

Thank you all for your inputs.

Turning it off in the registry before starting Delphi has done the trik.
