Thank you!! Glad you like it.  :-*

How knows what "Smart matching" means ... if he didn't just read this thread...have he search first the docu's ? ;)

Would you consider to use smtg like:
1. Matching whole words only
2. Smart matching (default) ==> "Matching Word starts with" (default)
3. Matching any sequence ===> "Matching Word contains"

Yes it's always wrong to confuse users. :P

I personally like #3 but I was told that "Matching Word contains" could confuse as well. Gonna think about it and I'm open to suggestions.

With regard to #2:

The problem is that 'Smart matching' doesn't really just do "Matching Word starts with" at all times, in fact it will decide the best matching mode based on its analysis of individual search terms, as one size doesn't fit all.  :)

I love screenshots, they explain everything, well... almost  ;)

Updates:

Added new matching mode selection:

1. Matching whole words only

Perfect match: "play" = "play"

verbatim whole word matching, no more no less.

What you get: Least results, Least noise

2. Smart matching (default)

"play" finds: playable, playground, played, playing, player, plays...

What you get: absolute most of all potential matches, some noise

Note: actually smart matching is smarter than "just matching one side of the word" ;)

3. Matching any sequence

"play" finds: display, byplay, foreplay, downplay, playable, ...

What you get: everything! Hold on... are you crazy? :P

what about
