Find exact match word

Question

I would like to search my project for "group".

However when I use the search dialog, I can see all "group" results, but also "groups", "grouping" and "grouper".

I don't want to see those last three, only the matches to "group".

Is there a way to do this in PyCharm 2017.1?

I have tried quotation marks and match-case box ticked. Neither did what I was after.

You can use the Words option:

Words

Select this check box to have PyCharm search for whole words or their parts, (character strings separated with spaces, tabs, punctuation, or special characters).

This check box is disabled, if the Regex check box is selected.
