Looking for whole words

[yarons]

In the search dialog there's an option to search for the exact term, this will search for strings with the search term only, which means: "target:=term" will only find strings with term as translation, but what if I want to search for a whole word as part of a string?

I thought about using regex and word boundaries but it doesn't work: target:r"בחר\b", I'm not sure how should I achieve this, thanks.

What about target:r"[[:<:]]בחר[[:>:]]"?

It works, it's just weird that the usual word boundary (\b) doesn't work, thanks :)

Here is the reason why \b does not work: #7095 (comment)

Let's describe this in the documentation: #13085
