Subject: How to search a whole word in emacs?
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:08:36 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1193422116.266878.76080@z24g2000prh.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I need to search a whole word in a big file. For example, I need to
search "Machine" but I don't need to know anything like
"machine_state", "running_machine_state" etc. The search shall be case
sensitive.
I've tried C-s ret C-w Machine but it returns every word with
"Machine" in it. I just need the exact word.
Thank you for your help.
