Search result include hits from context found within a word

Question

How do I define my search criteria to include only the exact match and not include any text before or after? IE search for "cat" also results in CATalog and CATerpillar when I only want CAT.

Answer 1

In FileLocator Pro you can switch the expression type to 'Whole Word' in Agent Ransack you need to switch to Regular Expression and use \b to indicate word boundary, e.g.

\bcat\b
