I am finding issues while highlighting text due to fuzziness.  
When i am searching on advertising and printing, the results shown are "advertising and printing", "printing", "writing" and "painting" I want to avoid highlight of fuzzy matched texts whenever a exact match is found in the same Document i.e., when "advertising and printing" is found, "writing" and "painting" should not be found if it found in same document.
