trying to find a non stupid text search library is proving to be capital d Difficult

Follow

i made like 75% of my code work with this one library, but it just matches TOO MUCH stuff! like you'd search for "dan" and it would mark every word containing "d", "a", or "n"

so now (probably tomorrow) im gonna have to find another one and refactor my code to use it, probably taking up several more hours, and i'm starting to doubt if it'd actually fit my overly complicated needs
