When searching the scripting reference I often think of a keyword for what I would like to achieve (for example, 'speed' if I want to set the speed of an object). However, the keyword itself will return no results as no functions actually start with the word 'speed'.
OK, so now I am getting to grips with Novashell I know that I need to search for things like SetSpeed, or GetSpeed, so I can try these searches, however in this case the desired function would be SetDesiredSpeed() or GetDesiredSpeed(). I would not be able to find this from the search, however. I would have to know that the function comes under the Entity logic and scroll through the list of functions to find it.
While I can now usually find what I'm looking for, any potential new users of the system might struggle to understand the concepts of Entitys, Maps, Goals etc (I know it took me a while!)
Is it possible to alter the search so it doesn't only return matches in whole words? Maybe giving the option of 'match whole word only' as a checkbox.
