Hi Jim,
Try "token" instead of "word" as the chunk you're looking for. It will work.

If the sentence:

find word "time" in field "myField"
is successful. The word "time" is found despite the fact that it is not
delimited with spaces on either side.
But
"time" is among the words of "Now is the time, for all good men."
returns false, since "is among the words" reads the comma after "time". It requires the
spaces on either side of "time" as delimiters.
But
"time" is among the tokens of "Now is the time, for all good men."
returns true. Unfortunately you will have to write your own tokenOffset()
function. :-)

Has this come up before and has it been suggest that this be an enhancement?
That is to say, it would be helpful if "is among the words" and "find word(s)"
behave the same with respect to the space delimiter.
Or am I missing something?
