Find a whole phrase

To find only whole words (that is, to exclude partial matches), press Command-Shift-F to display the Message box with the find whole command.

For example, find whole "Apple Computer" succeeds only if HyperCard finds that exact string, including the space. (That is, the words must appear in order.) It won’t find “Apple Computers” or “This apple is a computer.” (The regular find command would match all three cases.)
