regexp word boundary characters

[juan]

Hello, I just noticed that the underscore _ is considered as an alphabetic character by the word boundary wildcard \b when matching regexps. So, searching for
regexp:\bready\b
won't match
I_am_ready_for_it.txt (not matched),
while it marches
I-am-ready-for-it.txt (matched)
which I think isn't right, or expected.

Is there an option for considering _ a word-ending character, as the hyphen - is?
I think such an option should be considered.

Thanks for the most used utility on my system!
Windows 10, running Everything as a service.

_ is alphanumeric in PCRE.

Please try:

regex:(\b|_)ready(\b|_)



Everything 1.5 has Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> filename_underscore_word_character=false

and

ww:ready
ww: = whole words

This won't cut it, as I'm not looking explicitly for _ as opposed to -
Typically, I just remember I used some separator character between words...

Everything 1.5 has Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> filename_underscore_word_character=false

and

ww:ready
ww: = whole words

... while both of these are perfect and viable! I did look at the help, but I missed the ww: thing, or maybe I didn't think it would be independent of \b matching.

Thank you very much @void, for the wonderful utility (something like that should be built in Windows!) and for the quick and exhaustive reply.
