Use WHOLE_WORD search option in vim mode's whole-word search (#18725)

Ömer Sinan Ağacan created 1 year ago

Instead of wrapping the search term with `\<...\>`, enable the
`WHOLE_WORD` search option.

The advantage of the search option is that it can be toggled with one
click/key press (alt+w by default), and it doesn't require regex mode.

Release Notes:

- Vim mode's whole word search now uses the search bar's "Match whole
words" option, instead of wrapping the search term with `\<...\>`. This
allows easier toggling of whole-word search, and it also works without
enabling the regex mode.
