Kiten supports more advanced searches than plain normal word searches.
Case sensitivity and whole-word matching can be enabled or disabled by choosing ->, and then choosing the Searching item on the list on the left. The options can be enabled by checking the checkboxes and disabled by unchecking the checkboxes on this page. These options are global and affect all searches.
To search for the beginning of a word, instead of pressing the Search button on the toolbar or pressing Return on the text-entry in the toolbar, choose ->. Similarly, choose -> to search for your text anywhere in a word. These search modes work for searches of both languages.
