"quick find" cannot find a word that is separated by a paragraph mark, manual line break or a hyphen. Example: waterfall - water-fall or water [paragraph mark] fall or water [manual line break] fall. Is it possible that "quick find" can ignore such special characters and read "waterfall"? Reason: When converting PDFs into HTML this can happen quite often. Thank you!

Faziri, thank you for your reply. I tried your extension, but it does - as others- not recognize a word that is separated by special characters. Btw. have a look at the add-on HUGO by AllassoTravesser - it might be a good solution or inspiration for your needs (Allasso developed this add-on tailor made for my needs). Thank you again for your response. Best regards Ludiwg
