"Whole Words" search doesn't detect word boundary inside query string

[BrianMacIntosh]

Godot version

v4.1.1.stable.official [bd6af8e]

System information

Godot v4.1.1.stable - Windows 10.0.22621 - Vulkan (Compatibility) - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.; 31.0.12027.9001) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz (6 Threads)

Issue description

Most code editors (tested Visual Studio, VS Code, Notepad++) check for word boundaries on the edges of the possible match when doing Whole Words searches. Godot, however, only checks for non-word characters outside the possible match, not inside.

For example, most editors will find .func in variable.func when performing a Whole Words search, but Godot finds nothing.

This behavior is useful when I want to find uses of a member variable. I can do a Whole Words search for .member and it will match class.member but not var member or class.membership.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a script with the following content:

extends Node

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	self.myfunc()
	self.myfunction()
	pass

func myfunc():
	pass

func myfunction():
	pass

2. Perform a Whole Words search for .myfunc.
3. Observe that no matches are found.
