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.

    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
