You can define a selection by matching attributes:
hello | will match any word containing the string hello |
\Ahello | will match any word that starts with hello |
\Ahello\Z | Exactly matches the word hello |
\Ahello|\Aboo | will match strings that start with hello or boo |
\Ahe.*o\Z | will match strings that start with he and ends with o |
[ln] | will match any string that contains l or n |
\A[ln] | will match many string that starts with l or n |
Note: The search is NOT case sensitive.
Note: In most cases \A can be replaced with ^ (start of line) and \Z can be replaced with $ (end of line)
