Does "space" character work in Zotero's normal PDF content search?

cadudesun
Hi,

When searching by "title", if a "space" is added before " science", it would avoid to mismatch "conscience".

If it was a PDF search by using Regex, it would be "\bscience", in which \b is the boundary of the word.

=> In the case of Zotero's normal PDF content search, how does the "space" work? How can it be handled for exact matches?

Many thanks,
Cadu

    regular spaces do work in the advanced search and they work just like any other literal character, so " science" (without quotation marks) doesn't match "conscience". It also doesn't match "science" at the beginning of the document or, say, right after an em-dash, but that should be quite rare.
    (btw - why not just try things like that out: it's easy to test).
