Search by words
Description
i cannot see an option under Search to limit search results/matchs to whole words (or not). which seems pretty obvious necessary parameter.
and the whole 'fuzzy search' seems silly - it is matching INDIVIDUAL letters! talk about silly.
Currently, search feature has a basic implementation - searching by whole query. I don't plan to add "fuzzy search" for performance reasons, but at least 'searching by words' I will add.

hi there. as implied in prev, imo the current fuzzy search is useless because it seems (in my experience) to be so 'fuzzy' as to search for individual LETTERS.
imo, a useful proper 'fuzzy' search for match for each of the individual words: not the whole string. the issue here would be to be an OR or an AND match. i could see that BOTH would be useful.
my advice is to have comma delimiters if you want an OR search of each word, and + delimiters if you want an AND search for each word (but individually), and no separators if you want to match the whole string. that works logically with those delimiters.
EDIT: APOLOGIES. I JUST REALISE THAT MY REFERENCE TO 'FUZZY SEARCH' WAS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT PLUG-IN I WAS TRYING AT THE SAME TIME (TO SEARCH BOOKMARKS).
btw, although i have very recently got around to using Sidebery, it seems to really slick and easy to use.
but it really does need those Search options added into the app. must be easy if FF already has those search paramenters available
i will prob only use for Bookmarks as i use Tab Manager Plus for tabs which a great tool (and OneTab which woiuld be great if they ever bothered to support it and make the very obvious enhacements needed).
have install new version (v5) w/o problem and have turned on Search (seeing it defauted to 'dynamic) with a very brief look at settings, it looks a lot nicer and easier
I don't plan to add "fuzzy search" for performance reasons, but at least 'searching by words' I will add.
