No, Everything only treats punctuation and spaces as word breaks.

You would need a specific regex search to match word boundaries and case changes:

case:regex:(\b|[a-z])Abc(\b|[A-Z])



I can understand the usefulness of being able to search words for filenames using the camelcase style: AbcDefGhi
I'll look into an option to do this.


Breaking the camelcase filename into words and then searching for these words for a matching whole word could be done with something like:

global:case:regex:([A-Z][a-z0-9]*) ww:regmatches:abc
