Features of K-free Find
I. Match whole word only and Specify if search should be case specific or not.
If option to Match case is checked, Only values with the same case as the Find Value will be found. I.e. Find lon will find londoner, london, along but will NOT find London or ALONG.
Match case applies to all find and exclude values as well as other parts of the complex criteria. I.e. Find lon or Lon but exclude long will reject along but will still accept Long or ALong.
If Match whole word only is checked then the value to find must be preceded and followed by a space or special character (punctuation etc.). I.e. Find lon will reject london or along. It will find lon or lon. or :lon- etc.
For this criteria, character before or after word can be any character EXCEPT 0-9, a-z, A-Z.
For advanced users only, other characters that are not allowed can be added by changing entry WholeWordAscRangesNotAllowed. This is in ini file FindVal.ini which is found in subdirectory param of the main K-free directory.

II. Criteria always shown in status and messages in simple logical short format.
The criteria used for Find in any section and for Find File Containing Text is shown
- in the list of results on the status bar
- when the end of a file or list is reached and a message is displayed
- when no value has been found and a message is displayed
- on the top of the Enter Complex Criteria screen
- when you display each file/value for Find Files containing text as they are found.
The Criteria is always shown in the same format.
When it is shown on a message screen the abbreviations used can be displayed using the Legend button.
A simple find for a single value without a value to exclude will be shown as
Find >>xxx<< where xxx is the value to find.
A simple find for a single value with a single value to exclude will be shown as
Find >>(xxx) -(yy)<< where xxx is the value to find, yy is the value to exclude.
If Match Case is checked, MC will be added to the criteria, If Whole Word Only is checked WW will be added to the criteria.
Find >>(xxx) WW MC<< where xxx is the value to find.
Find >>(xxx) WW MC -(yy)<< where xxx is the value to find, yy is the value to exclude.
Several values to find will be listed with "or" before 2nd and subsequent values.
A criteria with several values to find and several values to exclude will be shown as:
Find >>(aaa) or(bbb) or(ccc) -(yy) -(zz)<< where aaa, bbb, ccc are the values to find, yy,zz are the values to exclude.
Other parts of complex criteria (when available) are listed with abbreviations:
