Match on Substring Fails for Part Word

[flywire]

I have a match 'Pharmacy' but it fails for 'STAY HEALTHYPHARMACY'. Match should not be restricted to whole words.

[Kraymer]

This is by design, restricting to whole words avoids a whole class of "false positive" problems.

eg you add a match "NEM" for category "RESTAURANT" to categorize this new vietnamese "House of nem" restaurant that just opened, and then you have all your transactions with "CINEMA" something as payee line that get categorized as "RESTAURANT".

In your case, you just need to add a HEALTHYPHARMACY match for Pharmacy category.

Another example: I have a match 'Hotel' but it fails for 'Super Hotels'. Maybe let the user have a switch.

[Kraymer]

I'll try as much as possible to limit switches even if sometimes it mean having an opiniated tool.
But I hear you: re-entering close matches is too cumbersome. I won't automate the registering of partial matches right now for the reason aforementioned but I think it can be improve, see #35.

@flywire can you test the dev version from master branch ?

Sorry, hectic over Christmas.

I'll uninstall and reinstall. Then I'll have to check how to setup my test
environment again - my notes were not good enough.

@flywire since I wrote previous comment, a new release has been shipped. So you just have to pip uninstall and then reinstall.
