Maybe use "Whole Words" as a possible workaround.
Then in most cases it won't find anything until you have finished typing a full word.

No too cunning for that pity you didn't post with Firefox though
What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

The relevance is you are not kidding anyone about the question being about Firefox you just don't want the thread moved to Third Party Builds. So run along fanboy

Thanks. Well, it's good for some cases (if I remember to enable it in advance), not when the word is too long or I only want to search for part of a word.
