Option - Ignore leading/trailing whitespace in text to search for

Open Hornblower409 opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

I do a lot of copy/paste from Outlook into FindBar-Tweak. When you double-click to select a word and then copy in Outlook, it has the annoying bug of including any trailing space after the word. So that when I do the paste into FindBar-Tweak, the space is there as well, and it fails to find an exact match because of the extra space on the end.

Option to have FindBar-Tweak trim/ignore any leading/trailing whitespace? I realize that this is something that no everyone wants, and there are cases where even I might want to look for a match using leading/trailing whitespace, but I think it would be rare.

When you paste it into the findbar you just need to hit backspace, it doesn't seem like that much of a hassle to me that it would require a whole feature to automatically remove the trailing space. But I'll think about it, if it's simple to implement there's no harm in it of course.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. Agree, it's not that big of a deal. Just something that would be nice to have. Thanks again for a great add-on.
