Declaration

public void SetSearchWordMatcher(Func<string,bool,stringComparison,string,bool> wordMatcher);

Parameters

wordMatcher The search word matching function. The first parameter is the search word. The second parameter is a boolean for exact match or not. The third parameter is the StringComparison options. The fourth parameter is an element of the array returned by the search data callback. The function returns true for a match or false for no match.

Description

Set the search word matching function to be used instead of the default one. Set to null to use the default.
