As title described, using the in-page find tool, how can I search exactly the word. The find toolbar does not provide a 'whole word only' option, which is mostly provided by other search tool. Or if I need an add-on for that?

Like: I typed 'dog', normally it match 'dog' and 'doggy'. What if I need only 'dog' but not 'doggy'?

I have searched the articles and Q&A but no luck.

I am using FF 45 dev edition.

Sorry, I don't use the pre-release versions. "Match Case" doesn't work?

Match Case is another topic. In fact I am a programmer. Supposed that there is a list:

Array IntArray ByteArray StringArray ... (× 40 times)

Searching 'Array' with Match Case is no help...

And by the way, I have also the common edition installed, but either has Match Whole Word.

Yes, it work. Thanks. ... but javadoc catalog are always constructed via the 'frame' tag, and this add-on says:

The addon offers basic regex search functionality except: - doesn't search in the following tags: input, textarea, frame, select, img, canvas, svg

Well... okay I can launch the frame content in a new tab. ╮(‾▽‾")╭
