I know this makes the third post about writing software, but I'm hoping this will be a new slant to it. You guys really talked up Scrivener so I went to look at it. But Scrivener is only for Mac, at least, that's what I saw. Can anyone recomend a similar program for Windows? Or point out where I could find Scrivener for Windows?

I always just took the whole-word-only search for granted. :/ (It's curious that both LSB and WC don't have the option, though. I wonder whether that's because it's very difficult to code or whether it's because there's not enough demand.)

There's probably plenty of demand within the user-base, but with the (compared to MS Word) relatively low sales of writer's software, other things like bugfixes and new features and releases probably take precedence. MS has plenty of people to make things like that word-search. Writer's Café is written by 1 person who also writes other software (it is part of his living).
(I know this because I translated Writer's Café and the help files into Dutch.)

Happy writing and a great weekend to all!
