If the Match whole words checkbox is checked, for both Quick Search and Advanced Searches, all string search terms must match the entire word.  If unchecked, the match will be on the start of each word (for instance, a search term of beg would match beg, begin, began, etc.).

 

Note: This option is available only if full-text search enhancements are disabled.  If full-text search enhancements are enabled, matches are whole word by default.  To match a partial word, add a * at the end of the word (i.e. test*).
