Acrobat Pro Advance Search Parameters Exclude Hypenated Words

Question

When searching for a word using the Advance search and Match Exact word or phrase the search pulls in hypenated words. As I recall there was a way at one time to exclude these words from the search.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

If you want to leave out hyphenated words when searching in Adobe Acrobat, try using the Find tool with the "Whole Word" option turned on. This helps you find only full words and skips matches that are part of hyphenated ones.

Go to Search option > Click on the three dots > Advanced Search > Select 'Whole word only'
