Can I force fuzzy search to match entire words only?

[diocletiann]

If I search for fzf I would like to just see the results of fzf, nothing else.

See man fzf for more options, use 'fzf for exact match only.

Thanks, this works.

fzf_opts = {
  ["--exact"] = true,
}

If you want to set this permanently for the picker I’d say lgrep_curbuf is a better picker for this need and it’s regex based so you can search for foo.*bar (and even ctrl-g to continue in fuzzy).

I tried that one, but I prefer fzf because I can use spaces and match on multiple words. I don't think I've ever selected a non-exact result, if I end up missing it I'll probably do what you suggest.

Sometimes I type too quickly and get it wrong.
