Find in open documents marks partial matches

    I did a search in all opened documents for "+ +".
    The results show me 4 lines which indeed do contain the searched string.

    However, also single + characters are marked yellow.
    Is this correct, intended behavior? I would not expect this.

      It looks as though only separate matching words are highlighted/marked in the search results...

      I looked for two words "firstword secondword".
      These are the results, capitals are used to show highlighting:

      [File1]
      1 FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD some other text
      2 FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD some more text
      [File2]
      here is some text with quotes 'firstword SECONDWORD yetanotherword'
      [File3]
      here, too, is some quoted text 'firstword SECONDWORD yetanotherword'

      Spaces between words are not highlighted, but, in my opinion should be.
      I am looking for an exact match of the search string, but the resulting highlighting does not (completely) show (all) real matches.
