  • To reproduce: set as search pattern ' pattern ' ('space pattern space') then apply.
  • Actual result: tool removes spaces part of a search term.
  • Expected result: tool to not remove spaces part of a search term.

I also have this issue with the mobile app. It severely impairs the ability to search for exact results. For example, I'm trying to search for the word "rill". Since it is a very uncommon word, if I just could make a search for " rill" (with a space in front), I would get to the necessary place in the text instantly. But because the search tool disregards the space, I'm getting tons of "shrill"s, "thrill"s, and so on.
