Sublime Text 3’s “find under” and “Whole Word” searching

When searching for highlighted text, Sublime Text doesn’t respect the “Whole Word” setting set in the “Quick Find” panel, like it does with case sensitivity.

super+option+g (find_under) doesn’t respect it.
super+d (find_under_expand) doesn’t respect it either.

Unless you don’t actually highlight the word you’d like to search for. If you allow either command to naturally select the word (with whatever word boundary you have set), it will assume you meant to look for only this word.
