FoxTrot finds whole words (or partial words when using a leading or trailing * wildcard). This applies to [includes all of the words], [includes at least one of the words], [includes consecutive words], [includes neighboring words], and [matches the FoxTrot query].
A word is a sequence of consecutive characters that fall into the following Unicode categories: Letter (Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo) or Number (Nd, Nl, No). For example, the strings [H2O] or [ft²] are both single words, whereas [eco-friendly] iscomposed of two distinct words separated by some punctuation.
In addition, Symbol characters (Sm, Sc, Sk, So), as well as Chinese, Japanese and Korean Ideographic characters, and characters whose unicode codepoint is higher than U+10000 (e.g. emojis), are also considered by FoxTrot as a whole word (even when contiguous to other high code point, Symbol, Ideographic, Letter or Number character).
As ‣ (U+2023) is in the punctuation category (Po), you can only find it using [then apply advanced filter] [contents] [contains the string]. Or, if it follows / precedes a whole word you also want to search, using [includes the exact string].
