While working on search features, consider the following:
1) a button or check box for exact word. (Probably a front end issue.)
This would force an RE search and add the expressions needed
to mark the start and endings of words.
2) a button for logical OR. (Probably a front end issue.)
This would force an RE search and place the vertical bar.
3) an exclude from results search.
Like the search results search, but instead of keeping the hits
and removing the others, do the opposite, remove the hits.
4) Found word list.
Because the default ways of searching search for strings,
not words, it would nice to be able to see what words were
hit by the search string. This would go well with item 3.
I have uploaded two bmps based on the Win32 front end. The newsearch.bmp
shows more features and a possible new layout for the win32 search window.
However, the two item in the Narrow Results line should be changed to "Must
Contain" and "Must Not Contain." That could also be "Must Have" and Must
Not Have."

Also, Win32 front end should have a Help button or Menu item.
