Description Regina Henschel 2005-08-14 17:11:11 UTC 
Open online help, tab "Find" enter search term "base" and check "complete words
only". In search results click on "Additional Settings". You find search results
marked, which are not the single word "base" but have "base" as a part of it.

In English this might be not a very great problem, because such words are seldom
and you get only a few wrong results. In German it is bad, because we have a lot
of compound words and so get a lot of wrong results.

ES->KLA: please have a look.
Comment 3 kla 2005-08-18 07:22:49 UTC 
kla->ufi: seems to be yours
Comment 4 Uwe Fischer 2005-08-18 08:41:46 UTC 
confirmed on english m122.
Comment 5 andreas.bille 2005-08-18 09:12:31 UTC 
ABI->PB: The found document contains the word "base" in that form, so this is
correct. However, the marking of the words in writer ignores the setting
"complete words only".
As discussed, to you...
Comment 6 pb 2005-08-19 12:06:58 UTC 
pb -> os: please takeover, thx. 
xSearchable->findAll( "SearchWords"==true ) doesn't work correctly.
Comment 7 Oliver Specht 2005-08-22 09:12:05 UTC 
os->pb: The Writer can either search for regular expressions _or_ for complete
words. In this case both flags are set and regular expression wins.

I cannot see a reason for a 2.0.1 target. The same issue was in OOo 1.1.
Changed target to OOo Later
Comment 8 pavel 2005-08-22 16:44:26 UTC 
confirmed. ufi confirmed on en-US m122.
Comment 9 pavel 2005-08-22 16:46:05 UTC 
Hmm, basic functionality accessible via UI doesn't work. This is P1 according to
our rules... Seems that no one ever tried this button. Can we remove it?
Comment 10 Uwe Fischer 2005-08-25 12:59:16 UTC 
Some experiments might help find out what happens:
If you search for a string that is indexed as a word then "Complete words only"
is not evaluated. If you search for a string that does not exist as a word then
"Complete words only" works as expected.
Try "base" or "link" --> also database or based / hyperlink or linked will be
found no matter whether "Complete words only" is selected or not.
Try to find "mple" which is part of the word complete, but not a word of its
own, and the control works.
