Search For Strings Contains Underscore

Hi,
I'm using Reader 9 search with "Exat Match" option.
When i search for something like "THE_STRING_IM_SEARCHING" i get also results for phrases like "THE_STRING_IM_SEARCHING_NOT" (given i have it in my document off course).
How can i search to get only the exact string i'm searching and not the string i'm searching that is part of a bigger string and separated by underscore?
Tahnks!

Very, very old software. Maybe a whole word search exists, can’t remember back since it went out of date 7 years ago!

Hi,
Thanks for the replay.
i've just downloaded and installed Reader DC Version 2018.009.20044,
Tried the "whole words only" feature and it still the same, searching the
string "SE_DDCB_I2C_SCL" find also "SE_DDCB_I2C_SCL_CON".

If whole-word search was possible in this version, it would be under the small arrow button in the Find dialog.

That’s a pity. I was hoping it would work for you with exact. I guess Acrobat/Reader consider underscore to be punctuation, not extended alphabet.
