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.
