    Example: “I have to really find this person”.

    Using the “find” feature, how do I search in a document for anything that will result in “to (anything)ly”?

    The results will come back as:

    to really

    to truthfully

    to faithfully

    and so on.

    I tried this: to(.*)ly>, but it’s not exactly what I want. Also, it should be able to return results with possible extra spaces in between. Thanks.
