Q:

Search for exact word or phrase in Flash Builder's "Search" tool?

How do I search for an exact match to a phrase or word in Flash Builder's search tool?
For example, in my project I have a class with a function named "removeEvent". If I search on it, I get all instances where "removeEventListener" is used and of course that is not helpful.
I have searched on the web but only come up with similarly unhelpful false hits (how ironic).
It appears I can use regex but I don't know how to do that and trying this answer to a regex question was no help

A:

Enable the regular expression option and then use the below regex.
\bremoveEvent\b

\b called word boundary which helps to do an exact match.. \b matches between a word charcater and non-word character, vice-versa..
