Searching by whole word

[jazzy-em]

Hello!
I want to make the possibility of a whole word search.
For example, if I search for 'up', I want to see in the search results just a 'up', not 'startUP' or 'sUPports'.
I understand that it is contrary to Firefox's built-in highlight behavior, but it is necessary for my application.
The main problem that I faced is the inability to determine a line break in the text extracted from the page (on viewer layer).
In PDFFindController_extractText() function we get text from PDF document to pageContents variable, but all lines on page are glued.
Tell me, please, can I some way to split a strings in extracted text on viewer layer?
Or need to change core layer? If yes, where is the best place in code for this changes?

May be line break can be detected in 'case OPS.moveText:' (core/evaluator.js, PartialEvaluator_getTextContent(...))? Or is this the wrong way?

@timvandermeij This issue could probably be closed now, since the feature described above was implemented by PR #10028.

Closing since this is indeed fixed by the PR above.
