Is it possible to search whole words only? For example if I am searching for word "run" I don't want to get results with "running". Or even in reverse. I think I once wrote "running" and got results with words "run" which makes it impossible to actually find the books with the term I am searching for.

So if the SIMILAR word is common I fail to find what I am searching. I am not looking for similar words. I am searching for an exact match. How to do that?

At the current search I should get 5 books only and I get pages and pages of results since SIMILAR word is common in many books. And those 5 books with an EXACT match aren't the first in results.
