It is there since ages.
Check the Advanced tab in the Message finder.

SPV> I need to search for the STRING "visio" but NOT the SUBstring "visio" but this is impossible with The Bat!.

SPV> I would love to have an option to use regular expressions to search, but at a minimum a "whole word" option is a NECESSITY.

SPV> While The Bat! has evolved in many wonderful ways over the past 20 years, I honestly cannot remember the last time the search capabilites were addressed and/or improved.

SPV> If there is an existing feature request for this, please provide a link where I can add my vote for it.  If not, can we open one?  Please?
