Search Options Reference
This table describes search functions available in Linking add-in (Word).
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Match case | Distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase characters. When Match case is selected, SmartLink for Word finds only those instances in which the capitalization matches the text you typed in the Find What field. When you use wildcards, this option is disabled. |
| Find all word forms | Finds all forms of an English word in the Find What field. For example, if walk is typed in the Find What field, SmartLink for Word will find walk, walks, and walked. |
| Use wildcards | Searches for wildcards you added to the Find What field. If the Use wildcards checkbox is cleared, SmartLink for Word considers the wildcards to be plain text. |
| Find whole word only | Searches for occurrences that are whole words and not part of a larger word. When you use wildcards, this option is disabled. |
