Definitions

 

The search string is the text for which to search.

 

The replace string is the text to be substituted in place of the search string, once it is found.

 

An entire word match is one where the match starts and ends at a word boundary.  As an example, searching for "and" would not match "band."

 

An entire partial word match uses a more restrictive definition of a word boundary which is particularly useful for source code.  In addition to the ends

of a word, a partial word boundary also occurs within a word when one encounters a change in case or a non-alphabetic character.  As an example, "call_me_ishmael" contains three partial words, and so does "GetDNDAction."

 

The version window is the X window on which the XsearchVersion property is set.

 

The data window is the X window on which the XsearchDataV* properties are set.
