Write > Search doesn't seem to find whole words in searches when those words are styled in Code Example.
Is there a workaround? We need to find every instance where 'var' is used in code snippets in our help file.
We used Write > Find & Replace...
Find in: All Topics
Find where: Topic Text and Header
FInd what: var (space after 'var')
Replace with: [blank]
Options - checked "Match whole word"
Finished with Find All button.

Try searching and replacing var without a space after it, or copy and paste the var with the space from the code example into the search field. Non-breaking text uses different spaces, and this will be your problem here.

I'm glad you knew about this. It's about as arcane and total-geek of any programmer's nook or cranny that I've ever run across.
In any case, thanks.
