I am having a few issues with search and replace that I can't seem to find an answer to.

How do I make S&R case sensitive?

How do I make S&R find and replace whole words only?

I have done a number of S&Rs on a whole book and have found that it appears to not only replace words with the same case but those of the opposite case too - i.e. a search for color to replace with colour will also replace Color with colour.

Another issue I have come across is that if the search term I am looking for - as a whole word - is embedded in another word that appears to get changed too.

I have looked in preferences and can't seem to see anything that relates to this.
