Whole Word search matches parts of words #75

I tried searching for "midi" with "Whole Word" checked:

https://juliahub.com/ui/RepoSearch?q=midi&w=true

I expected to see only results where "midi" matched entire words, not parts of words, but got results such as "humidity" and "dehumidifier".

That's a bit subtle: The whole word setting only has an effect if you're using regex search, which is why the checkbox is disabled in your case. https://juliahub.com/ui/RepoSearch?q=midi&w=true&r=true gives the expected answer.

Can we support whole word search in non-regex mode? It could be emulated by Regex escaping the search term and then putting \b before and after the escaped search term.

Fix is in and should be deployed soon(ish).
