# MatchWholeWord

To match only terms in the text that begin and end on a whole word boundary, set this parameter to `True`.

To match terms that start and end anywhere, including in the middle of a word in the text, set this parameter to `False`.

For example, if `MatchWholeWord=True`, a search for the term `80` does not find a match in the text string `80mph`. If `MatchWholeWord=False`, a search for the term `par` finds a match in the text string `separated`.

For more information on modifying the matching behavior by using `MatchWholeWord`, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
