Default Finding Words with Specified Letters in Arabic

Hello
How can find single words (it means without Space) with specific amount of letters, e.g. Umbrella has 8 letters. How can find this word and other words with 8 letters in a context?

Hi!

Put a checkmark in the “Use wildcards,” and search exactly :
<[aA-zZ]{8;}>

It will find any word with 8 letters with uppercase or lowercase.


Good luck!

I believe the semi-colon does not belong.

It works, but just for English words and it does not find Non-English words. I work with Non-English context.

Can you show us an exemple of non-English words?
Because it works with French words.
