I'm trying to create a wholeword: filter. I've tried adding wholeword to the filters but it doesn't seem to work. I've found that the filters seem to be hot or miss whereas some filters work such as folder: and others don't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Re: filter problems
Filters are ANDed with the search box search.
So the filter: ww: and the search box search: abc123 is expanded to:
ww: AND abc123
The ww: above is ignored as there is no search term.
The filter folder: and search box search: abc123 is expanded to:
folder: AND abc123
This will correctly find folders and the text abc123.
Filter whole words will only effect the filters search, the search from the search box is uneffected by the filters whole word setting.
You'll need to use a filter function:
Create a filter with the macro:
filterww<search>
Set the filter search to:
ww:<search:>
Now when this filter is selected, all search terms in the search box will match whole words.
