Seriously, once you get to the editing stage, names like that will turn into a nightmare.
most software will let you search specific strings. so like, “Will” != “will”
frankly that plus what the other guy’s comment said, this seems like a non-issue that you’re kind of responsible for if you just decide to seek no solution and truck through the significant extra labor.
I have found that many people’s problems in life are in fact caused by their own choices and refusal to find solutions.
Shortcuts are created by those who didn’t find the shortest path
You can search for " Ed " with spaces to get isolated instances of the name
That’s the english language’s own fault for being so terrible. Also, for Ed, just try " Ed ", with a leading and ending space. For Will, you will have a battle of wills to find the Will, unless he left a will
Case sensitive searches are what you’re looking for…
Call them Will, but write Wilx. Find and replace at the end.
