# MatchWholeWord

Set `MatchWholeWord` to `True` to match only terms in the text that begin and end on a whole word boundary.

Set `MatchWholeWord` to `False` to match terms that start and end anywhere, including in the middle of a word in the text.

For example, when `MatchWholeWord=True`, a search for the term `80` does not find a match in the text string `80mph`. When `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`, see Match Special Characters.
